Indeed it seems that way. Here's what happens on my FreeBSD system:

	bash-2.05$ /bin/sh
	$ type automake
	automake is /usr/local/bin/automake
	$ type -p automake
	-p: not found
	automake is a tracked alias for /usr/local/bin/automake

whereas "which" produces more sensible output:

	bash-2.05$ which automake
	/usr/local/bin/automake
	bash-2.05$ /bin/sh
	$ which automake
	/usr/local/bin/automake

so instead of using bash-specific extensions, can we patch this to use
"which" instead? It'd keep KDE compiling on all those machines without
bash, as well as those without bash in /bin.
