Subject: Merge James's bash version check (again after minor changes by me):

Autoconf is there to make configuration and testing of the environment
easier for the user and the designer, hence configure check for bash
version in configure.ac

It also removes the test from the constantly sourced patchfns too,
which has to be a step in the right direction.
