===============
i'll disagree on this one. linux (that i've seen) uses a symlink from sh
to bash. if you execute /bin/sh, it's running bash. if you write a script
on linux and it works with /bin/sh it may not work with a "real" bourne
shell. i've seen it in kde, where it seems most of the development is done
on linux. when i saw it, i filed a bug report with a fix (to make the
script compatible with bourne shell).
in that case, the answer is to suggest that kde/linux do the right thing,
not emulate them when they do the wrong thing.
