I've checked the OpenBSD manpage and it indicated that bc was POSIX
compliant/compatible, so I assumed it was okay to use.

I haven't found yet an environment which doesn't support $((..)), so if
you're confident that that's more portable than bc than please do make
the change.

Thanks for the pointer/review.
