another CONFIG_SHELL doc instance missed

Subject: another CONFIG_SHELL doc instance missed

In http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.autoconf.general/5849
the move of CONFIG_SHELL to the environment of `configure' wasn't done.
In http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.patches/6368 we
concluded it to be necessary though.  One instance of this was missed.

OK to apply?

Cheers,
Ralf

        * doc/install.texi (Defining Variables): Put `CONFIG_SHELL'
        in environment of `configure', not the command line.

 causes the specified @command{gcc} to be used as the C compiler (unless it is

-Here is a another example:
+Because the value of @var{CONFIG_SHELL} may be needed before the argument
+parsing loop of @command{configure}, it is an exception to this rule, and
