Hi Tor,
Cloph had the strongest view on this AFAIR - from a Mac / build
dependencies perspective.

Personally, since I have no idea what is a bash-ism, and what is not; I
can't promise not to accidentally introduce them. Perhaps if we document
shell fragments that are bad and their 'good' replacement somewhere sane
and build that incrementally then we can all learn.
Ultimately if people want to incrementally fix bash-isms as they creep
in I see no reason why they should not commit fixes to make it use
generic-shell; hopefully with the gnumake based build we'll have less
shell lying around.
HTH,
Michael.
