You're kidding, right? There are Bourne shells out there that don't
grok $(...)? And just when I was ready to join with the new century
:-P
it was a ksh change. so, pdksh and bash have it. but it's not required
for posix /bin/sh, so, i don't think nmh should depend on it.
I think I have to disagree:

Says $(...) should work.
A more relevant question is: how long should we consider Solaris a
relevant platform? It pains me to say it, but there's no getting around
the fact that unless some miracle happens I don't really see what the
long-term future is there. AFAIK it's the only holdout that ships a
non-POSIX /bin/sh.
