Stefan,

I tried using 24.0.50's sh-script.el with 23.3, but there are other
changes which make that version sh-script.el not work at all in 23.3.

I put the specific patch into the 23.3 version of sh-script.el and
that solves the problem there, so I think we're good.

I'm a bit too swamped right now to play with 24.0.50, but anyone with
it installed should be able to repeat the above test in a few
seconds.
