You can access any option's value in a script by prepending '&' to the option name.

So in this case, you'd test for bash with something like:

" test for bash on Windows
if has('win32') && &shell =~ 'bash'

Or even better:

" test for pretty much any Unixy shell on Windows
if has('win32') && &shell =~ 'sh$'

or:

" test for Windows not using the default Windows shell
if has('win32') && &shell !~ 'cmd'
