Build already depends on perl and other non-standard goodies. In that
sense, requiring bash is not a big deal, especially if it makes it
easier to run test scripts. Problem with bash is that its path is not
standard like /bin/sh, even if its installed, it might be found from
/usr/local/bin or somewhere else.
