Could be.  The configure script seems to work fine after commenting out 
those lines tho.

What's interesting is msys doesn't even include a "bash.exe" but instead 
has an sh.exe (and I'm 99% sure BeOS was the same.. I had to make a 
symbolic link from sh to bash).. when I type sh --version on Msys it
says: GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)..

I believe BeOS did the same thing.. sh is really bash under a new name..

If I copy sh.exe to bash.exe (and even the symbolic link on BeOS from sh 
to bash) the configure script says: "No compatible shell script 
interprerter found."
