Any instance of ! in an if will not work in sh.

For example (from cairo-1.6.4/src/check-dev.sh):

    if ! which nm 2>/dev/null >/dev/null; then

does not work in Solaris stock /bin/sh, but it will in bash.

That's the first bash-ism I came across in any of the scripts when 
trying to run the test suite; there are likely more.  I did not further 
explore; I just changed the #! invocation from /bin/sh to 
/usr/local/bin/bash on all of them.
