This breaks the build of editors/openoffice-2

Specifically, the libxslt configure script has two statements like this:

if test "1" == "1"
then
        blah blah
endif

Specifically note the "==" passed to test(1).  POSIX says this should be "=", 
and that's all our test(1) implements.  The bash manpage for the builtin-test 
command says:

       string1 == string2
              True if the strings are equal.  = may be used in place of == for
              strict POSIX compliance.

IOW, it encourages "==".  I'm not sure if we want to force the use of bash for 
certain ports or if we want to just implement bash'isms in our tools as we 
encounter them (or patch the port?).  In this case the patch is not 
complicated (just replace the two '==' with '=' in libxslt's configure 
script).
