We do, pointedly, *not* care about *bash* compatibility, but about
"it works on all the oddball shells you happen to find on any of the
supported platforms".
So, NAK, unless you have tested with ksh, and the system /bin/sh on at
least Solaris and AIX.
Please do not change working shell script stuff just because *bash* says
"this is the more modern way!".
(gen-release-tarballs.sh only needs to work on FreeBSD and Linux, and
FreeBSD's /bin/sh is sufficiently modern so so it's likely to work
- but the test scripts need to run robustly everywhere a user builds,
so never assume "because bash says so!" is a way anywhere but into worlds
of pain. And yes, we've been there before :-) )
