Well, it isn't checked in yet :-). And I am not one with commit access
(neither do I plan to get it).

/bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash under debian/ubuntu.

If you look at the gist link, you'll see 2 revisions. The first is your
original v0.7 as you posted, the second one is the version that I used
in the end. I thought gist.github would automatically show the diffs,
but it seems it doesn't.

Just one note, I did not commit your script to any libO repository (I
don't have the rights, nor would I know where this should go). I just
posted it to the gist thingie to allow others to access the version I
used (and spot the flaws that I am sure to have introduced ;-) ).

No problem,

As I said, /bin/sh is dash really, and I know it isn't as complete as
bash (which is the whole meaning of the thing).
