sigh.

Yes, I know about the patches. And I know why they didn't do the switch,
especially considering that it's normally too large a change to consider
without a major release as opposed to a patch... but IMO bash as /bin/sh is
so boneheaded as to be worth an exception. (Yes, I feel this way about
Linux as well. I was fully supportive when Debian switched its /bin/sh to
dash.)
