Looks promising.  Thanks, Andrew.

I suppose the real question is a pair:
  (a) What is the earliest version of darwin that we need to support?
  (b) Does that version of darwin have a reasonable 'bash'?


By example, taking the Solaris equivalent (which is what I know a little
about):

A few years ago that would have been: "(a) Solaris 2.6; (b) no easy bash".
Nowadays: "(a) Solaris 2.8 (probably 2.9).  (b) Decent bash since 2.8".



So a migration to assume availability of bash is looking promising.
