And let me point out that if you've got bash as your /bin/sh, most of
these packages won't *fail* on building, but they will have messed up
library versions.  It's not a problem now, but will be as soon as you
upgrade a package that breaks binary compatibility but still has '0.0.0'
as it's compatibility version.
