 Also, while I'm at it, that seems excessively complicated. How about
 
    emacs -q -batch -eval '(print load-path)' |\
      ${TR} ' ' '\n' |\
      ${GREP} '/share/emacs/[^/]*/lisp' |\
      ${SED} -e 's|.*/share/emacs/\([^/]*\)/lisp.*|\1|' |\
      ${SORT} -u
 
 ?
 
 One can also do
 
    emacs -q -batch -eval '(print load-path)' |\
      ${SED} -n 'y/ 
/\n/;\,/share/emacs/[^/]*/lisp,{s|.*/share/emacs/\([^/]*\)/lisp.*|\1|;p;q;}'
 
 That is not a win on clarity, but if we're going to run this every
 time the .mk file is loaded having fewer forks will help slow systems...
