The best idea to check for shell portability is to make sure that you
have the Bourne shell in /bin/sh for your tests.

This will still not give you the kind of portability that allows you to 
compile on Next Step ;-)

The Bourne Shell is free software and published under CDDL, so there is
no problem to compile it even on Linux if you do not have a Solaris
installation.
