The ideal way would be patching bash to recognize if the current user has
root privileges (rather than its current check for just uid==0), so that
the PS1 escape \$ automatically printed # for privileged and $ for normal.
I'll add it to my TODO list, but if someone comes up with a patch first,
I'd gladly review it.
