Use portable constructs in configure script.
While the following may be a valid construct in bash:
SPICE_GTK_REQUIRES+=" gtk+-$GTK_API_VERSION >= $GTK_REQUIRED"
It is not in every shell. Hence this usage in configure.ac throws warnings like
this when run on systems where bash is not the default shell:
./configure[15815]: SPICE_GTK_REQUIRES+= gtk+-3.0 >= 2.91.3: not foun
The attached patch rewrites these into portable constructs that work on all
systems, regardless of the shell.</pre>
