That was spoken with hybris.  Bash uses a regular gnu autoconf build
procedure, so making it build is much less of a pain to than massaging eg.
Python. However, it is a unix shell, and as such it does fork() all
the time. Hence, it is necessary to use Cygwin (or its derivative MSYS)
for running Bash.

A good reason to get rid of bash scripts.
