You don't need to worry about scripts as they are generally run
with a well defined shell that is independant of your choice of
login shell.  You might find that ksh fits your needs, it is a
bourne-derived shell (like bash) and is a lot smaller and faster.
You can install bash via pkgsrc, but it is not always a good idea
to have root's shell be an extension to the system as it may not
be available in a emergency.  (E.g.:  imagine that you accidentally
pkg_delete bash, now you can't login as root.  :-)
