 The /bin/sh in both 3.2-STABLE and 4.0-CURRENT produce the expected
 results:
 
 $f=/tmp/user/wpage.html
 ${f%.*}=/tmp/user/wpage
 ${f%/*}=/tmp/user
 ${f%"/wpage.html"}=/tmp/user
 
 "$f"=/tmp/user/wpage.html
 "${f%.*}"=/tmp/user/wpage
 "${f%/*}"=/tmp/user
 "${f%"/wpage.html"}"=/tmp/user
 
 Time to upgrade? :-)
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
