[PATCH] documentation: Makefile accounts for SHELL_PATH setting

From
Ben Walton <bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca>
Date

Message-ID
<1237603220-22897-1-git-send-email-bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca>

Take SHELL_PATH into account, if set, in Documentation/Makefile. This allows the caller to provide a shell capable of running the install scripts on systems where sh is not bash.
