[ksh93-integration-discuss] "builtins.sh" test failure when ksh93 is a dynamically linked shell...

[Glenn Fowler]

ast makefiles/tests handle this issue by first ensuring that
prereq libs are built and installed before dependent cmds
(ordering done automatically by nmake for the entire makefile
 hierarchy by closure on all makefiles in scope -- recursive
 make not harmful when done right)
and then specifying that tests are run only on installed cmds/libs
