This is to make it run under *BSD for instance, where bash is not installed by default (or not under /bin like in Solaris). I cannot tell more about the errors since I ran it with bash, obviously. I am a huge noob at shell scripting, so I am unsure whether I can send a diff. Moreover, one could also hack the prepare script to use not only wget but the default fetch tools under non-GNU/Linux systems. (ftp and/or fetch with keeping an eye on $FETCH_CMD[1]). Maybe I can ammend this and send a patch for 4.8. This further enhances compatibility with those Unices.
