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.
