Right. Assuming POSIX in a tool which is supposed to be a portability tool
is completely nonsensical and anachronistic, considering the most popular
operating system is a proprietary system which does not support POSIX out of
the box. For the people on that inferior operating system, installing a
POSIX environment is actually harder than installing a simple tool like
CMake. And for those of us on a sane operating system, CMake is just one
"yum install cmake" away. So what's the point of generating POSIX shell code
into each and every tarball?
