Of course it's #!/bin/sh

I guess even something as simple as this can have bugs...
I wrote this under windoze using cygwin-bash and FSDEXT2, I've only just
tested it under Linux.

I agree, if you run the Install script several times, /etc/bashrc will
become very long. Will this work?->

hushrc.sh:

#!/bin/sh
# hush = human(e) shell (extension to bash)
# some nice shorthand aliases
alias x=startx
alias cp='cp -i'
[snip]
# and now for locale
if [ -f /usr/lib/hush/$LANG/aliases ] ; then
	 . /usr/lib/hush/$LANG/aliases
fi
