For instance, `rankmirrors nonexistent_file' should display: 'nonexistent_file' does not exist. rather than: $1 does not exist.

This looks more like a change in quoting than it does for error messages... I've no problem with this as m4 enjoys chomping on backticks and mangling the strings, but, see below.

Sure, I just wrote it the way I did because the combination of quoting and m4 was resulting in error messages that weren't as helpful. Would you prefer I change the commit message to something else?

Okay, let me know your thoughts on this and my comments below and I can send a v2. -Aaron

Ah, I guess I got lazy and did this instead of escaped single quotes. I can change this to: printf $'==> ERROR: No write permission in \'%s\'\n' "$PWD" or printf $"==> ERROR: No write permission in '%s'\n" "$PWD" Do you have any preference?

I'd always prefer that commit messages accurately reflect the changes being made. Something like "contrib: unify quoting in error messages" seems reasonable.
I've no problem with this as m4 enjoys chomping on backticks and mangling the strings, but, see below.

option c: "==> ERROR: No write permission in '%s'\n" "$PWD" $"" definitely isn't what you want. It performs localization if the right gettext variables are set, but it also has security holes because the localized strings can contain command substitutions which will be happily executed...
