     Hi John,
     
     thanks for the patch!  While the patch looks generally okay, I do want
     to make a few nit-picking comments.

                       ^
                        \_ why two spaces?

     we usually keep these on the same line as ???add-before???.

     I think we could just do this:
     
         (lambda _
           (substitute* '(...)
             (("/bin/sh") (which "sh")))
           #t)
     
     Also note the final ???#t??? because ???substitute*??? has an undetermined
     return value.
     
     What do you think?
