If we were to use gnulib's init.sh, we would then have the guarantee that we have enough of a POSIX environment to rely on that particular construct. But right now, test-lib.sh doesn't quite guarantee everything provided in gnulib. Jim, is it time to modify test-lib.sh to borrow more ideas from gnulib's init.sh?
