After trying Bash 2.0, I think maybe we should leave the 1.14 port around
for awhile too.  They have changed several vars such as OSTYPE and
BASH_VERSION.  Bash 2.0 has broken several of my scripts.  And these
changes will make them quite ugly.  [unless someone knows how to do a
csh-style "if ( FOO ~= bar* )" in bash, other than having to use case
statement.

I've seen some people quite unhappy with the changes to these two env
vars, so I'm thinking there my be a change in the next version/patch.

Opinions?
