With a future putback OS/Net may get ksh93's shell script compiler
("shcomp") which has some kind of "lint" functionality... maybe we could
run it by default within OS/Net to catch some of the ugly things out
there (currently "shcomp" doesn't catch everything but AFAIK it can be
"beefed-up" a lot) ...
... but I still need a sponsor for such a thing
(http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6561901),
per April's suggestion someone from the kernel folks since my patch
includes a javaexec-style kernel module ("shbinexec") which recognizes
the compiled shell script format and calls the matching interpreter for
it...
