10.4: Update to a newer bash shell
Authored by: jhf on Sep 06, '06 08:06:31AM

The Apple supplied bash is a universal binary:

[jhf@Palmyra jhf]$ file $(which bash)
/bin/bash: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/bin/bash (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
/bin/bash (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc

Bash 3 is nice though -- it has the perlesque =~ operator and backreferences.
