Actually, for your future reference when writing shell script, the 'x' is
*never* needed in case statements like this; only when using 'test'.

You can do this portably:
case ${foo} in
  "") echo "yes, foo was empty" ;;
esac

This is one reason I prefer case statements to 'if test' when using shell.  :-)
