Excellent example of a false dilemma.  I'm oriented towards exerting the
effort to make something that isn't shitty.  I'm at peace with the go
developers decision to avoid that effort.  Are you?

Anyway, bash uses autoconf as well.  So all you've done is push the mess
one step farther away from your code.  Why not just cut the cord?  I'm
hearing "shell scripting is easy" and I'm hearing "acceptance testing is
too hard."  Which is it?  I can write portable shell scripts, but the
idiots on golang-nuts have explicitly said they don't WANT portable
shell scripts.  They want to rely on bash, and all the GNU bullshit that
brings with it.
