    There was a discussion about this a few years ago on comp.unix.shell.
    Let's see...

    Ah, I see, the starting point was actually the reverse assumption
    that all systems had /bin/env. Somebody mentioned /sbin/env on
    Irix, but I don't know whether that was instead of /usr/bin/env or
    in addition to it.

    Of course I can always handwave in the direction of those hundreds
    of Linux distributions...
