as i'm already at it, a minor nitpick:
the shell does no word splitting in assignments and the switch word of 
case statements. so it is perfectly safe to have:
case $1 in
  "this is stuff") stuff=$2$3; shift 3;;
esac

the "Portable Shell Programming" chapter of the autoconf info page is a
true goldmine for such info. :)
