because if you have a shell script with /bin/bash it will executed and it's 
output written in help_mp.h while /bin/sh do NOT execute the script or read 
the rc files and generate a correct help_mp.h. I can give you an example:

help_mp.h:
#include "help_mp-it.h"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ambasciator non porta pena.
Ambasciatrice non porta pene.
                -- Andrea `Zuse' Balestrero
----------------------------------------------------------------------
END of help_mp.h
and mplayer won't compile.
