Changes from 3.0-8:
+ fix postinstall script to not nuke sh.1 man page
+ once again, dynamically link against libreadline, now that it has a hook
to allow bash to override getenv()
+ apply patch from Keith Reynolds to use spawnve() where possible.  I
noticed some speedup, but not like the 50% he reported at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2005-07/msg00123.html

Changes from 3.0-9:
+ disable spawnve() patch - it put the wrong value in $? and didn't
restore tty handling correctly
+ fix path parsing to allow "a:\file.exe" as a program name, and "cd a:\"
as an absolute directory

I've noticed that the postinstall script 00bash.sh does not upgrade the
shell when it is executed by /bin/sh, even though it tries to do an "exec"
to overlay /bin/sh before doing the copy.  Since the preremove script idea
didn't work, is there any way that the next setup.exe can be made to
respect the #!/bin/bash line when choosing the shell to execute, rather
falling back to /bin/bash only when /bin/sh isn't found?

Because libreadline6-5.0-3 is still marked test, this version is also in
test, leaving bash-3.0-8 as the current version.  You can delete
bash-3.0-9, since it is no longer referenced in the setup.hint.  I've
played with building readline-5.0-4, but don't have any changes to it yet
to be worth a release; I think I can follow what Chuck has done, so I'm
happy to take over readline maintainence.  I hope that with another week
of testing, I can do a simultaneous bump to current of readline -4 and
bash -10.
