Embedding a shell script in a multi-line C string literal is an

in pain. I can see why the original author (whom I shall not look up with
git-blame :) ) went for the easy route. Still, we want the source code to
fit in 80 columns.
At Eric's suggestion, also:
- replace the non-portable control operator "|&" with the portable
redirection operator "2>&1" and the portable control operator
"|";
- replace the "if ...; then exit 1; else exit 0; fi" constructs with "!
...".

The four bytes " \\\n " portion between the two lines are not
essential (the shell grammar doesn't care if there is a newline at
this point); in fact, if you put the | before \n instead of after, you
can use a newline without needing the \. But I don't see any point
changing this code yet again just to golf out a few more bytes. Let's
leave it as written in your v2.
