Update code files in /usr/share/misc

Quite so, Richard is mistaken. In fact, your default shell is not used even if there is no #! construction at the front. In that case the Bourne shell /bin/sh is used (which these days is often bash masquerading as sh). This is a convention that goes back to the earliest days of Unix.
