The fact that there are 39 bash'ish shell-scripts does little to help a 
native port...

Can you defend that "bash'ism" comment for all 39?  The one I
know of and would want to get rid of its bashism by rewriting is
git-grep, but most of them I thought was plain POSIX.

Not really, no. I meant "there are 39 shell-scripts known to work with 
bash but not necessarily known to fail with any other shell", which 
usually means "it will break with some shell or other, although the 
shell that breaks is unusual enough for everyone not to have tested it 
yet". I'm probably being a bit super-anal and anti-MS biased.

I wrote the first mail being terribly hung over and this one being 
slightly tipsy. I now get the feeling that everything will work out for 
the best. Happy christmas everyone.
