cf every products trying to ship its own python, ruby, etc instead of accepting defeat and
shipping a statically build tool in a docker container in an OVA virtual machine image.
Obviously, that’s what should have been done with Bourne shell in the first place.
If we wanted to use Makefiles in our customer run product, we would have
