As a matter of habit, I change all the SHELL=/bin/sh to
SHELL=/bin/bash.  Then I grep through all the configuration
scripts and source files and change all /bin/sh to /bin/bash.
I got into this habit while using BSDI 1.0's broken /bin/sh.
It would routinely croak on Makefiles and broke nearly all
the cnews scripts.  Bash performs/ed like a champ.
