	followed by a nunch of other errors, most probably caused by the
	script bash was intended to run not doing what it was intended to
	do.

>Fix:
	Ideally, discover that hash is not really needed for the script
	in question, and replace "usr/pkg/bin/bash" by "${SHELL}" or
	something.   Otherswise, if bash really is needed then
	add a dependency.

	The easy workaround is just to install shells/bash before
	building autogen (manually satisfying the dependency).
	That works, but ...

	Please bupm PKGREVISION when this is fixed, otherwise there
	will be binary packages existing that happen to have worked
	because bash was installed (including mine, that I generated to
	test the "manually add bash" workaround) but which don't
	contain any dependency upon bash (for all I know, there may be
	run time dependencies upon it, as well as the build time one
	noted above).

 I should have said in this PR, that my (normal) working shell is
 /usr/pkg/bin/bash, and that's what ${SHELL} in my environment is
 set to, so another explanation for the expectation for that
 shell to exist is that it was simply expecting ${SHELL} from the
 environment to work (and what's more, to be a sh(1) compatible
 shell, which I know of no particularly good reason it should necessarily
 be).

 This added just for completeness, I don't know if it is relevant or not
 (bash was not installed when I first did the build, as I use pkg_comp
 with a mostly empty sandbox for most compiles).

    | gnu-configure.mk sets CONFIG_SHELL before invoking configure;
    | thus, nonexistent $SHELL should never happen now.

 It isn't the config stage that is the problem, which still exists.

 It is a bit difficult for me to test easily any more, as I now have
 my build procedure set up to always simply set SHELL to /bin/sh before
 attempting to build anything, but I did the build in a slightly abnormal
 way for me (still using pkg_comp so it builds in an almost empty sandbox)
 and I still get errors as shown below.

 Since setting SHELL=/bin/sh in the environment avoids this, it is clearly
 a problem caused by having SHELL in the environment set to something that
 doesn't exist (you could probably reproduce the same thing by building
 with SHELL=/nonexistant/garbage - though you'd have to get the Makefiles
 to work that way I guess).

 ps: here's the end of the build log of a build of devel/autogen I just
 attempted, where SHELL remained set to my login value of /usr/pkg/bin/bash
 when I started the build.  The relevant line is the "Could not execvp..."
 near the top of the log fragment.
