Well that would certainly work for the case of a missing bash. I guess
I was thinking that the marker file method would work for a wider range
of brokenness where for whatever reason the shell fails to start and/or
complete its initialization. Having never experienced this personally I
can't really come up with a set of possible scenarios of brokenness, but
it seems we get do get a lot of "bash window flashes briefly and then
disappears" reports. Are they all just missing bash.exe?
