I've never been able to figure out when to use .profile vs .bashrc, but
I thought it had to do with only one of them being run when a subshell
was started, or something like that.
I do note that on both my OS-X and Linux boxes, /etc/profile sources
bashrc, and uses bash syntax, so it sure looks like a bash-specific
config file to me.
