I guess then you will unset OWNER. Perfectly fair to decide you don't
care, but being OWNER has a non-disclaimable duty of stewardship.

Either that, or it's building the docs rather than using some included
version, which is consistent with pkgsrc doctrine of building vs being
pkgin. So not necessarily a bad thing.

Please do so. I'll merge this patch to other versions that need it
after a week, and of course that can be undone if you patch out the
bashism. (Personally I prefer to have a CONFIG_SHELL line in the
Makefile rather than a patch which needs merging.)

I've applied the patch to asterisk19.
