i can't find mention of bash or its versions anywhere in the source (using
`git grep -i bash`). the INSTALL and manual/install.texi def do not mention
it. i could add a section saying "you need bash-2 or newer", but would that
really be useful ? considering we require gcc-4.4 or newer, seems like it
would be more noise for people.
certainly if we wanted to require bash-3 or newer, a section would be
warranted. but bash-2.0 was released over a decade ago :).
