This is in general 'A Bad Thing' to do.  This really screws up the
default build tools, and will bite you if you try to build the world
with the BSD make tools.

I suggest running the Configure like 'bash Configure' instead of screwing
up the default sh.

Hopefully sh(1) will be better when we release a 4.4 based FreeBSD.
