> Concerning `bash`: maybe we shouldn't require bash in the prereq script.
The prereq script checks whether bash is available and gives a clear error
message if it's not. So I would try to make the script portable, and not
force bash.
Agreed. Someone had ideas of converting sage to use the autotools (or
autohell to William). The tools are carefully written to be portable, so
the last thing we should do is force any non-portable code in there, as it
would make it more difficult to use the current script as a basis for
others.
