I am toying with the pros-and-cons of

so that the above can become

	write_script "$SHELL_PATH" >foo.sh <<-EOF
        echo my arguments are "\$@"
	EOF

without requiring the brain-cycle to waste on the "Is this simple enough
for even Solaris to grok?" guess game.  This should also be reusable for
other stuff like $PERL_PATH, I would think.

I like it. Even better would be:

  write_script() {
        echo "#!$2" >"$1" &&
        cat >>"$1" &&
        chmod +x "$1"
  }

  write_script foo.sh "$SHELL_PATH" <<-\EOF
    echo my arguments are "$@"
  EOF
