Well, that's also what I thought, we had the right comment before and
it didn't help.

I realized it's better anyway to totally skip that check, and to not
even worry what is required or what isn't.
We just delay this to popen, since the return status is already
checked. This is better, transparent and more accurate.

We don't care about which sh is needed, the code does not care either,
that way everyone is happy and we do not need any comments, wrong or
false :)
