   Even beyond the installation into /usr during build, using bash  
(esp. /bin/bash)
isn't a good thing.  Bash isn't part of the NetBSD core, so shouldn't  
be required
by anything in the main source tree.

   I was unhappy enough to determine that netpbm (in pkgsrc) now  
requires it.
:-(  I don't want to have to install one more pkgsrc shell just  
because one pkgsrc
package doesn't know how to write portable shell code.  :-(

   Oops.  Ranting off-topic.
