So, what is the provenance of this CURDIR variable? Has it
been blessed by POSIX? indeed not. However, I see that both $PWD and
the pwd utility are sanctioned by POSIX; so for maximal portability
scripts should *NOT* use CURDIR, the should either use PWD, or call
pwd themselves, like the example did.
