I've been building with dash as /bin/sh with no problems for almost 2
years now. Not many gtk packages though. Anyway, I do not see any reason
to introduce bashisms, but if you do not know how to do it "properly" in
a portable way, you can always specificaly run bash to run certain
scripts, as adding bash to OE's prerequisites is less intrusive than
requiring /bin/sh to be bash.
