Réf. : configure.in: Someone please show me a better way :)

[Roumen Petrov]

Sorry for mistake for sh file must begin with
-------------------------------
X0='x0'
X1a="$X0/1"
X1b='$X0/1'
X2a="$X1a/2"
X2b='$X1b/2'

export X0
export X1a
export X1b
export X2a
export X2b
------------------------------
Without export don`t work on linux sh ( bash )
