CVS, but I'll be applying the first patch today or tomorrow.

"if Bash is installed".  I assure you they are not relevant to DOS
anyway:

  /*

   *  defining regex.h related types.  This causes libg++ build and usage
   *  failures.  Fixing this correctly requires checking and modifying 3 files.

Yes.  This:

is much simpler.

Well, all of the existing tests are irrelevant, but if you want a proper
fix, then, yes, run popen() and read back the true or false result.
