Building on ubuntu 8.04

[Martin Buchholz]

FYI - simply changing the /bin/sh symlink probably works,
but the official way to do this is with dpkg-reconfigure.
BTW, I think the message below is incorrect;
neither bash nor dash is fully POSIX compliant.

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
Configuring dash
----------------

Bash is the default /bin/sh on a Debian system.  However, since the Debian
policy requires all shell scripts using /bin/sh to be POSIX compliant, any shell
that conforms to POSIX can serve as /bin/sh.  Since dash is POSIX compliant, it
can be used as /bin/sh.  You may wish to do this because dash is faster and
smaller than bash.

Install dash as /bin/sh? no
