	Hmmm, BSD/OS has bash in /bin - not sure about NetBSD or OpenBSD.

	Well, SUN sells a crippled system - not much of anything useful 
	installed unless you build it your self ;)

	I'll have to check the FBSD system - I thought it had bash in /bin
	but you may be correct that /usr/local/bin is where bash is found.

	Yes, you missed my complaint that ./configure fails at line 5403 ;)

	Apparently /bin/sh doesn't like a unary '!'.   Thus I suggested
	using 'test' - which works I believe.

	All this fuss to support windoze (the test in question is for 
	cygwin: "if x86 ! cygwin; then") no less.
