Summary: Remove dependence on bash
Initial Comment:
monetdb-config requires bash, and not all *nix systems
provide this by default.
It seemed to run fine with a shebang of /bin/sh -- if you don't need bash,
please remove the dependency.

Message:
/bin/sh is a public domain Bourne shell.
Reading notes section of OpenBSD manual page, looks like this one
may also have some isues when you need POSIX compliance.
Not sure what to say; I have very little experience with POSIX compliance
issues.
NOTES
sh is implemented as a run-time option of pdksh, with only those sh
fea-
tures whose syntax or semantics are incompatible with a traditional
Bourne shell disabled. Since this leaves some sh extensions
exposed,
caution should be used where backwards compatibility with
traditional
Bourne or POSIX compliant shells is an issue.

Message:
What is /bin/sh in your case? I think it should be possible to write the
scripts for /bin/sh, but we just have to keep in mind that on other
platforms (e.g. Solaris) /bin/sh is nowhere near posix shell.
