Update to 2.05b, and fix MASTER_SITES. Lots of changes since 2.05.

Here are some of them, excerpted from NEWS:

- New code to handle multibyte characters.
- `select' was changed to be more ksh-compatible
- There is now a bindable edit-and-execute-command readline command,
    like the vi-mode `v' command, bound to C-xC-e in emacs mode.
- The shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the
    machine supports (intmax_t), instead of long.
- There is a new configuration option `--enable-mem-scramble', controls
    bash malloc behavior of writing garbage characters into memory at
    allocation and free time.
- The `complete' and `compgen' builtins now have a new `-s/-A service'
    option to complete on names from /etc/services.
- `read' has a new `-u fd' option to read from a specified file descriptor.
- The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the
    function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a
    script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script.  This is as
    POSIX-2001 requires.
- The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the
    new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like,
    and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better.  Code
    from Gary Vaughan.
- New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup
    and close).
- The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
    the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
    POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
- Added support for DESTDIR installation root prefix, so you can do a
    `make install DESTDIR=bash-root' and do easier binary packaging.
- New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; does group name
    completion.
- The ksh-like `ERR' trap has been added.  The `ERR' trap will be run
    whenever the shell would have exited if the -e option were enabled.
    It is not inherited by shell functions.
- configure has a new `--enable-largefile' option, like other GNU utilities.
- `for' loops now allow empty word lists after `in', like the latest POSIX
    drafts require.
- The builtin `ulimit' now takes two new non-numeric arguments:  `hard',
    meaning the current hard limit, and `soft', meaning the current soft
    limit, in addition to `unlimited'

Also, there is a "New unwind-protect implementation from Paul
Eggert", which I believe obviates the need for two sparc64-related
patches.
