There is one thing I am confused about your response, though.  I thought
the suggestion by Peff was to build your binary with "make SHELL_PATH=sh"
(not "make SHELL_PATH=/bin/sh").  I do not know if that works or does not
work (I do not see why not, though), but in either case offering a new
customization point sounds like a separate issue.

I tried this, and it does not work. (Shell scripts' shbang line would end
up as '#!sh', and at least bash does not like to run such scripts.)

Ahh, sorry for missing the obvious.  I should have realized about that
one, as customizing that one was the very original motivation of the make
variable.

In any case, as I wrote in the "What's cooking", I'll fast-track the fix
to 'master' shortly, so that Windows port does not have to carry it.

Thanks.
