printf is usually built in to the shell.  I think if we're very
careful about quoting shell metacharacters then we can get by using
eval in place of envsubst.  See the message that

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/160396

is a reply to (which does not seem to have hit the ml; sorry about
that).

I hope preprocessing away the "eval" is not needed. :)

Yes, e.g. timing from running the rebase tests in the testsuite
might be interesting.
