  Portable to what though? Chances are the shell script code generated by Autotools is runnable in more places than Node.js.

    Nobody cares about your doddering Ultrix system, old-timer.

    Yeah that may well be. I'm just saying that it's a pretty horribly hacky way of making a portable script. It can be made to work, of course.
