To be a bit more helpful, a short summary is:

 * SHELL_PATH in Makefile lets you munge installed scripts;

 * /bin/ksh is usable on Solaris and xpg4 is fine too;

 * We need to draw a line somewhere, and the current rule is
   that we cannot afford to support a shell that does not
   understand $(cmd) substitution, as we haven't seen a shell
   that supports ${parameter#word} but not $(cmd).
