Is this a bashism, or a POSIX spec that isn't being followed?  

Also, do we need to be even more portable?  I.e., do we need to do
this autoconf style with 

test "x$foo" != "$foo"

or can we just not support those platforms?  This question is really -
Do any of those platforms support *any* interesting software, or can
we just forget about them?
