I happened to remember that there's a stat(1) command, and it's
included in the coreutils so this would simplify it completely:
size=`stat --format='%s' $ldir/$file`
Perhaps this doesn't belong in the publically accessible shtool,
but only in the private copy used by openpkg since it can be sure
that there's a working version of the stat(1) program available.

A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than
he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men
favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter
facts of life in bandages of self-illusion.
