Why generate it? There's nothing to generate. python's source code
needs regeneration, bash's code doesn't.

We fix up the #!-lines on all of the existing shell scripts (as well as
python and perl). Wouldn't we want to do the same for people who have
bash in an alternate location?

'#!/usr/bin/env bash' should take care of people who have bash in an
alternate location, no?

If that is where there env is. I do not recall offhand if that is a
problem for anyone. Still, I don't think it is that big a deal to treat
it like we do other scripts, and provide the usual boilerplate (which
also gets us NO_BASH if you have an old or broken bash and want to skip
the tests). I just sent a patch.
