        case "$#" in
        1)    case "$1" in

            *) echo "#!$SHELL_PATH" ;;
            esac
                2)    echo "#!$2" ;;

                esac >"$1" &&
                cat >>"$1" &&
                chmod +x "$1"
    }

Nice. I was going to suggest a wrapper like "write_sh_script" so you
didn't have to spell out $SHELL_PATH, but I think the auto-detection
makes sense (and falling back to shell makes even more sense, as that
covers 99% of the cases anyway).

This looks like a very nice, general purpose, solution to the problem.

Thanks
