But lt-foo.c is created by the libtool script itself -- and libtool 
already knows that $SHELL == /bin/sh or /bin/bash or whatever.  libtool 
uses the same method I described when creating the shell wrapper:

         $echo > $output "\
#! $SHELL
# $output - temporary wrapper script for $objdir/$outputname
...

So I really don't need to worry about $CONFIG_SHELL or imitating 
configure, do I?  I can just use $SHELL.
