Sorry 'bout that. I don't even HAVE a shell that doesn't understand
that construct. It's the "Arithmetic Expansion" expression
required by POSIX.2 (3.6.4). However, we're still limiting
ourselves to pre-POSIX shells. (Otherwise I would have
used $() in other places, because the current alternatives
are truly horrible.) ($() is also required by POSIX.2).
Patch to follow in a few minutes.
