This PR is not invalid at all, it is a rather valid claim. However, as
Jim explains in his comment, we can't do much about it (to be more
precise: we _can_ do something about it: we could write an autoconf
test that checks whether 'head' and 'tail' accept '-n', but we
can't do it _all_ since the occurences inside autoconf-generated
scripts needs autoconf fixing first). However, we should
eventually do it, so let's keep this PR in suspended state.
