All right, I got it. Yes, finding a bewildering array of libraries there 
or not,

and of different versions is an astringent test for portability, and the 
same

goes for apps' presence or absence and their versions and alternatives.

Yes, but not for ssh running a command. There is `~/.ssh/environment`

but it doesn't seem to work so I guess `PermitUserEnvironment` is

not set in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` on any of them

However, the specific issue is pretty much resolved (thanks) by using curl,
which is everywhere except 119, and one slow upload is no great cost.
