This is only true for /old/ systems AFICT. On all my `modern' systems, /bin is
a link to /usr/bin, where the 'sh' is resided.

The README should be expanded anyway, because just plainly testing this stuff
from a tcsh on AIX will run the whole bitch as a tcsh :-( so calling style
should be either

% at now
sh smoke.sh
^D

or from cron

* 22 * * * sh /foo/bar/test/CPAN/smoke.sh

both making the hashbang line documentation only

Why? smoke.sh will do a 'cd' first. Only change I'd consider correct is
       qx "sh ./Configure ..."
