Could anyone tell  me the the advantage of

  ${gapver:=$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/newest_version gap}
  GAP0=`$gapver`

over

 GAP0=`$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/newest_version gap`

(it was there, but commented out and replaced by the former)

The "${gapver:=..." does not work on Solaris, so I need a kosher
replacement.
Is it to take care of potentially  weird characters in SAGE_ROOT?
(e.g. spaces, non-ASCII...)
If yes, what would be the right fix?

Thanks,
Dima
