So bash 4.0 is out, and there's lots of neat little changes, but this
also requires readline 6.0, which is a big old nasty soname change.
Unless anyone has any objections, I'd like to do these upgrades
tonight and put everything in testing if it all goes as plans.
Any problems with that?

I thought there will be more than that, maybe covered by dependency chains.
 I have been using the attached script to find needed rebuilds and it works
but is slow (takes under two hours to scan my entire cache being all [core]
and [extra] plus part of [community]).

       cp pkg/$pkg tmp
       cd tmp
       tar -xf $pkg
       rm $pkg

       if [ $found -ne 0 ]; then

done
Hmm, is this intensive? Would it be bad to run it on gerolde? I don't
have all of the packages cached, and don't have enough space on my
x86_64 machine (slicehost slice) to run it from that side
Moderately intensive...  probably best to not run on gerolde.  I can run 
it once I get into work today (so results in ~4 hours).
