Patch for problems with profile script in Win9x

It seems that the default profile script checks what shell the user is running and sets appropriate defaults based on the shell. Unfortunately, on all Win9x installs that I've done recently, I've noticed that the profile isn't correctly identifying that bash is my shell (which it indeed is). The
