the , rather than / feature is already in use in the script (except that
its using s%%%).
\( \) is already in use, and AFAIK \| has been there for as long
\? _might_ be a bit later as a feature, in which case one could add
\|https, but then again isURI() doesn't match https: anyway
The i flag is a GNU extension, so is probably not that portable, so one
could go for \(http\|HTTP\|...
For the shell, I suspect that [[:alpha:]] is an innovation from the
90's, so one could play it safe (well, except that it might break with
odd codings) with [a-zA-Z]. posh doesn't seem to know about [:alpha:]
for instance.
posh does know about the ${ # } thing, but that wasn't in Solaris SVR4
shell AFAIK.

This seems preferable, and avoids new dependencies:
`$jigdoFile md5sum --report=quiet "$localPath" | sed 's/ .*$//'`

Fair enough.
