shell-file-name (was: emacs)

Maybe I can contribute something...
The default value of shell-explicit-shell-file-name in emacs is /bin/sh, not
/usr/bin/bash
with the result that aliases do not work (because even if HOME is defined
correctly
.bashrc is not run).
Of course, this is a trivial customization, but maybe this value is
surprising for people
who might not know to look at it.

Thanks again all!
Marc
