I don't know that you can count on this behavior. At this time I am
using bash 2.04.7 and the SHELL variable is set in my _blogin file, so
it isn't set when invoking either bash or sh except as a login shell. It
will be set however it is set up in the initialization file. I believe
it would be better to use the DJGPP function "basename" as follows:

    if (((cp = basename(LYgetenv("SHELL"))) != NULL)
      && (strstr(cp, "sh") != NULL))
       dj_is_bash = TRUE;
