Building on Solaris : /bin/sh != bash

[Charles G Waldman <cgw alum mit edu>]

I've recently gone through the effort of building Gnome on Solaris
and had to do a bit of hand-patching.  The main issues were A) needing
to add "-R" flags to link commands and B) errors in shell scripts
which seem to assume that /bin/sh is bash.  On Solaris this isn't the
case, and tests of the form

test thing == other_thing

generate syntax errors.  I've been fixing these one by one as they pop
up, but I haven't been submitting patches... are these known issues?
should I submit patches?  is this the right place to submit them?


Here's a patch for one such case, in
 control-center-1.5.11/capplets/common/wrapper-script.in
