unfortunately, the fix makes it as broken as before, only the other way
around.
echo -n "..." is BSD-style (solaris1 sh, freeBSD sh, GNU bash),
echo "...\c" is sysV-style (solaris2 sh).

to support both, a more elaborate solution would have to be found.

it is configurable

  env POD2MAN=/usr/perl5/bin/pod2man ./configure ...

that's solaris, one needs to put a large number of /opt/.../bin
directories in one's $path.
and now one needs to add /usr/perl5/bin...

michael, i'm pretty sure your fix won't work.
globbing inside a colon-separated list...?

as somebody else on this list has found out already: they don't get
reinstalled (counter to our expectations...).
