Good idea.  Do you think it would also be reasonable to pre-generate
the doc?  That way, I don't think there'd be any dependencies.

If we go this way, would I suspect I would need to create a special
tarball for the FreeBSD port since I doubt the same auto*'d files
would work on Linux depending on what versions are installed locally,
etc.  If I do, that's certainly not a problem.

Hmmm ... I don't have bash installed on my system and haven't had any
trouble.  Do the scripts perhaps look for bash first, but fall back to
/bin/sh if they can't find it?
