 Some comments about the patch:
 - You should not call getpwuid() for every prompt, perhaps use $USER
   instead for the \u expansion
 - \w/\W should use more something like $PWD (leave the symlinks) and
   just compare with $HOME (bash3 does the same). This needs wider
   changes over the code though.
 - The code in HEAD seems to have some other bugfixes since you patched
   it.
 - Your dot.shrc patch looks way too redhatty :P
