Dunno.  Can you set that on a per-target basis?  I think we
only care about this for the 'installworld' target, and in
that case we want to set it to the /bin/sh which was copied to
a temp directory at the start of the processing for that target.
Installword is done via a series of cascading targets, so maybe
it will be fairly easy to solve this.

I certainly don't want the *user* to have to remember to
set the shell before typing 'make installworld'...
