That's correct; 0.6c5 actually requires bash, but 0.6c6 uses '[' instead of 
'[[' and so in theory should work with a non-bash "sh".

If you're good with a binary editor, you could probably hack the header of 
the current .egg to work.  :)  Or at least, you could manually run the 
shell commands that are in it.
