I've got bash 1.03 to work, for the most part, on our SYSV.3.2
implementation. There are a few problems (a lot of them non-SYSV
dependent).

	1) A lot of the source files that have conditional (#ifdef)
	   code DON'T INCLUDE "config.h" (like parse.y)! You have to
	   fix this for files that need it
	2) You'll have to hack nojobs.c. You can take
	   wait_for_single_pid() from jobs.c but wait_for_background_pids()
	   uses job control stuff and can't be used. You'll have to
	   #ifdef JOB_CONTROL the calls to it out of builtins.c.

The only remaining problem I have is that it barfs sometimes trying
to execute shell scripts. I think the error message is:
	bash: can't execute binary file
or something like that. I'll see if I can find that one soon.
