Hi folks,

As anyone who has taken a trip to the fate status page in the last 30 minutes 
or so can see, I have attempted to build LibAV with no local modifications on 
my Solaris x86 setup. This has crashed and burned horribly for several reasons, 
the first of which I am writing to ask for suggestions on how to fix.

For the longest time now, /bin/sh on Solaris has not been GNU bash, nor has it 
been remotely POSIX-compliant (it most like heralds from the original days of 
SunOS).

All of the scripts in libAV start with '#!/bin/sh' -- I have been manually 
forcing bash (thankfully at least available as /bin/bash on current Solaris 10) 
by modifying the starting line in each of them.

It is worth noting that this problem does not happen on Solaris 11 as it ships 
with /bin/sh as GNU bash.

Any suggestions on what else to do? I don't suppose there's a way to force the 
scripts to run under bash without modifying that start line, is there?

Thanks in advance,
Sean McG.
