Waste of time, Bruce.  By my count, our distribution contains sixty-five
other shell scripts with hard-wired "#! /bin/sh", most of which are not
being passed through any autoconfiguration step.  Foremost on the list
is configure itself.  It's going to be rather difficult to autoconfigure
anything if /bin/sh doesn't work.

I would suggest reverting this change, since there's no point in having
initdb work differently from all our other shellscripts.  I agree with
Doug McNaught that any system where /bin/sh isn't a Bourne shell is
not Unix.
