* lib/missing: Some shells, such as Solaris or FreeBSD /bin/sh,
warn about missing programs before performing redirections.
Therefore, where we have to silently check whether a program
exists, perform redirections on a subshell.
Remove redundant uses of double-quotes in variable definitions.
Delete an extra blank line.
