I've just tested the -no-m3ship-resolution switch on the current
cm3 on birch. It mostly works, but some shipping destinations do not
use the variable names. So it's nothing to do with shell incompatibilities,
but with our programming mistakes.

It may be that such paths containing // (perfectly legal in POSIX)
and .../bin/../lib/... are the culprit.

I should not have relied on the automatic installation testing by hudson;
everything worked there, as it is the same user who built the
packages. To find such errors, we need to test with different
users...
