Hi Martin!  

What exactly happens when you try to execute autogen.sh with /bin/sh?  

I do it all the time on NetBSD.  It defintely doesn't *require* bash.  

I wonder whether there's something nonstandard in the script (nothing
obvious to me) or if perhaps your /bin/sh falls short in some way?  

I'd rather change the script so it works with anything claiming to be a
Bourne shell.
