this is a common korn shell extension.

without it module recompile requires `rm -rf` of the module dir, see
makemake.in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  if [ "@TEST_NT@" = no ]; then # re-making a module requires rm -rf module
    newer(){ echo 'test -f $$m/'$1' -a '"'!'"' -f $@/'$2; }
  else # re-making a module just works
    newer(){ echo 'test -f $$m/'$1' -a $$m/'$1' -nt $@/'$2; }
  fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
