When bash is not invoked as a login shell, then the configuration file it
looks for is ~/.bashrc. Keep this file as a symlink to ~/.bash_profile.

I suggest keep a link from ~/.profile to ~/.bash_profile as well, since bash
does not source ~/.bash_profile when invoked as sh (many programs do this when
spawning a shell).
