The problem here is that this 'autogen' phase is run before the
'patch-source-shebangs' phase, at my suggestion.  It has to be that way,
because 'patch-source-shebangs' (and 'patch-usr-bin-file') will need to
be run on the files created by 'autogen.sh'.

Yes, after the 'substitute*' above, this should presumably work.  My
guess is that Paul added the "bash" here before he realized that he
also needed the 'substitute*'.
