Also, fixed an unportable use of 'export'.
As a traditionalist, I tend to prefer "var=val; export var" over "export var=val" myself, but I wonder how unportable this is these days. Just wondering, no objection. Do you have a specific shell in mind that groks other constructs used in our tests but not "export var=val" form?

I can't remember, and I can't seem to find one, either. Even posh (latest debian unstable) and ash (from woody) seem to support it... On a related note, how portable is mkdir -p these days? I remember seeing systems that don't have it, too. -- Eric Wong
