Would it possibly be better to call /bin/sh instead, since that can fairly reliably be found on Unix systems, whereas bash is only common on GNU/Linux? Alternatively, look for a few (bash, zsh, ksh, sh, possibly others) and run one. Or use the user's $SHELL setting.
Now we relay on bash's compgen to get completions. So we are not just looking for a shell. I think this is a less burdensome requirement than the readline library, after all. Andrea
