This is OK as long as you don't build or port packages that are meant
to be built by others.  Most people won't have /bin/sh on their
machines.  If you do this for yourself, you risk missing a Makefile or
a shell script that need to be changed for them to run on a garden
variety DJGPP installation.

I sometimes find myself testing a package on a different drive, or
rename my /tmp directory, just to be sure that no such assumptions
slipped my eyes.
