How can you install bash without using it? With sh as bootstrapping shell.

Build and maintain your own bash or install script? You don't have to maintain it, it's just building which is already provided by original source build scripts. You can install it as "mysolutionsh", nobody cares as long as you link it to PATH or reference it explicitly. Still easier than avoiding bash everywhere but in personal setups. Yours already familiar with it, that's a waste!
