Just FYI: this bootstrap script will not work any more with some shells
that are still in practical use.  The Tru64 /bin/sh for example does not
understand `local', unlike its /usr/bin/posix/sh.
(I have not tested whether it worked with /bin/sh before; but from a
glance, I don't see why it should not.)

Cheers,
Ralf
