Indeed - I did already do this in an earlier version, due to the
fact that bmake as of a month ago couldn't handle them on Solaris
due to /bin/sh breakage, but after that was fixed to use /bin/ksh I
left the originals to keep the diff readable.
I don't have an older diff handy, but it's trivial to fix. There
are lots of other cleanups possible, but they may be better served
with smaller piecemeal diffs.
