Akim might, but I doubt it - it would be yet another (small) test
that slows down autoconf, and for little gain. Plus, if the two tests
disagree, which do you trust?

To a certain extent. I think that moving up the loading of config.site
and using CONFIG_SHELL is probably a better option; I'll try to get that
done.

No more than it does now (since I would have bash append $DJDIR/bin to
PATH, lookups will be identical, except that if DJDIR is set, it may get
found there where otherwise it would fail). Plus, bash could fall back
to its own location if DJDIR isn't set.
I must say I don't see how any of this breaks bash - in fact, it would
eliminate one breakage.
