I didn't really make much effort at all for the bootstrap script to work on
brain-damaged shells like Solaris /bin/sh (though, I'll be happy to patch it to
work there if it doesn't obfuscate or uglify the code), on the assumption that
anyone planning to bootstrap libtool from git will have a sane development
environment... I didn't test extensively on vendor shells, but bootstrap seems
to work correctly on Arch Linux (bash-4.2), Mac OS 10.6 (bash-3.2) and Mac OS
10.7 (zsh-4.3) -- the environments I developed it in.
Once the thing finally makes it into gnulib, there will be many many more eyes
on it, and I'm sure any existing niggles with common dev environments will be
fixed in short order.
Cheers,
