Looks like it'd be simpler to just replace the "source" commands with
"." and leave the shebang as is (unless there are other bash-specific
constructs in these scripts of course).

Generally speaking, I think we should avoid madating a specific shell,
unless that really simplifies the test script (which is not the case
here).
