FYI: [PATCH] libtool: make fork minimisation compatible with dash and zsh.

[Gary V. Vaughan]

* build-aub/general.m4sh (lt_HAVE_PLUSEQ_OP): Instead of using
$((..)) arithmetic, which causes an error on dash, use a case
based bash version check.
(lt_HAVE_ARITH_OP, lt_HAVE_XSI_OPS): Also short circuit the
feature probing forks and set these automatically when zsh is
detected.
Reported by Stefano Lattarini.
