The util-vserver scripts are very bashish using arrays and every
function is declared as:
function funcname()
{
...
}
Those needs to be redeclared as:
funcname() {
...
}
I mentioned to the vserver list that i was interested to convert the
scripts to POSIX. First he said that he was not against it until he
realized he could no longer use arrays.

Does anyone have any suggestion to do dynamic variables cleanly without
using arrays?
