The ideal way would be patching bash to recognize if the current user has root privileges (rather than its current check for just uid==0), so that the PS1 escape \$ automatically printed # for privileged and $ for normal. I'll add it to my TODO list, but if someone comes up with a patch first, I'd gladly review it. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
