Maybe next week, but I'd need your help (an off-the-top-of-your-head
list of platforms you've found problematic so I can go out of my way
to check for /usr/bin/env and/or /bin/bash and/or /usr/bin/bash on
them), and it would be nice to have buildbots to run the tests and see
if "#!/usr/bin/env bash" works.  I believe that to be more portable
than Miklos's suggestion of "#!/bin/bash", but nothing's certain when
you're talking about portability!
