For a naive user they may not even realise it is a shell script or
that the running it via bash -x option will give a valuable debug
output. I didn't until I did a bunch of work on it. It is an extremely
simple addition but very helpful to understand is going on and gives
useful debug reports.

I was thinking that we could expand this to have a level with lower
levels printing out settings of key variables and a high level
generating the -x output. But I think at least having this debug
output easily available is an easy but valuable improvement.
