bashdb @4.2-0.8: broken by the recent bash update to 4.3

Description

When configuring, bashdb fails with the following error message:

checking for bash... /opt/local/bin/bash
configure: WARNING: You have Bash GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0)

This is because the bash port was updated to 4.3 as of r118612, which was in response to ticket #43173, which this ticket is split off of. The configure issue is fixed at least as of commit 66dd83 in upstream git, although it appears there are still other issues with 4.3, as more recently upstream commit 3900a7 was needed to fix the testsuite with 4.3. So it seems there are two possible solutions: either move the bashdb port to track upstream git temporarily until there is a new release, or add a bash42 port for compatibility and have bashdb just use that. The former might be unstable and lead to other issues, but the latter might just be unnecessary duplication, so idk which one would be better/worse... anyways, attaching bashdb build logs...

It looks like the new bashdb-4.3-0.9 works with bash 4.3, perhaps it is worth trying to update.
