I think you'll find these easy to fix.  I just was hacking on xdg to
make it work on AIX 5.3 and encountered the same issues. You probably
just need to apply fixes like:

I.e. quote the var that's being tested.

You may also need to add "/opt/freeware/share" to

However, these changes are not enough for me to get AIX working cleanly.
 I'll see if there's a clean non-linux-affecting patch I can submit once
I succeed.
