Well, you can see above, it could be a lot better. I have bash-2.03
installed, and that script would delete it, only to reinstall the same
version! I think it should be modified to skip the update if one of the
versions in the index is the same to what you have installed. I guess I
should get coding rather than whinging though. :-) There's another case
if there are multiple versions, when it isn't perfect, but it's still
very helpful.
