And more important: the chances of it being fixed for 10.20 are zilch.

For the time being? It does no harm (IMHO) and only guards against old,
unsupported or non standard-conforming systems, nor does it break tar.

Start with documenting how to run a single test in
README/INSTALL/whateverfileyouthinkbest

I really looked and couldn't find it

FYI: http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ now has all 1.20 binary
distributions for HP-UX available as native HP-UX software depots
The 10.20 depot has been uploaded, I'm just waiting for rsync to
pick it up
