Waste of time, Bruce. By my count, our distribution contains sixty-five
other shell scripts with hard-wired "#! /bin/sh", most of which are not
being passed through any autoconfiguration step. Foremost on the list
is configure itself. It's going to be rather difficult to autoconfigure
anything if /bin/sh doesn't work.
I would suggest reverting this change, since there's no point in having
initdb work differently from all our other shellscripts. I agree with
Doug McNaught that any system where /bin/sh isn't a Bourne shell is
not Unix.
