>Description:
	It's nice to be able to link shells statically, but the bash2 package
	doesn't provide any direct support for that, even though the bash
	source code does come with such support, in the form of an easily
	used configure option.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build the package.

>Fix:
	This patch creates a new mk.conf option (BASH_STATIC here, but I'm
	not picky about the name) that can be set to enable static linking.
	It might also be nice to add similar capability for all the other
	shells in the package system, but I haven't looked into that.

	The mk.conf.example file should be suitably augmented; here's a
	possible entry (in agc's new format):
#BASH_STATIC=
# Used in bash2 package to enable static linking.
# Possible: defined, not defined
# Default: not defined
