The example simple_bash.sh embeds either /bin/bash or /bin/sh depending
on what the /bin/sh symlink points to:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/xnee.html

  /usr/share/doc/cnee/examples/simple_bash.sh

  #!·/bin/bash
vs.
  #!·/bin/sh

The attached patch fixes this by hard-coding to use /bin/bash, instead
of the Makefile BASH variable.

There are still other outstanding issues affecting the reproducibility
of xnee, but this should help reduce the differences to troubleshoot the
remaining issues.

Thanks for maintaining xnee!

live well,
  vagrant
