POSIX does not support grouping in case item patterns.
Installing with a strict POSIX shell fails with:
/usr/local/plan9/bin/9c: line 82: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/local/plan9/bin/9c: line 82: `*(DragonFly|BSD)*gcc*) usegcc ;;'
This change expands the patterns to work around the limitation.

(and search for case_clause)

This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.
Installation
To install, run ./INSTALL. It builds mk and then uses mk to run the rest of the installation.
For more details, see install(1), at install.txt in this directory and at https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man1/install.html.
Documentation
See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/ for more documentation. (Documentation is also in this tree, but you need to run a successful install first. After that, "9 man 1 intro".)
Intro(1) contains a list of man pages that describe new features or differences from Plan 9.
Helping out
If you'd like to help out, great! The TODO file contains a small list.
If you port this code to other architectures, please share your changes so others can benefit.
Git
You can use Git to keep your local copy up-to-date as we make changes and fix bugs. See the git(1) man page here ("9 man git") for details on using Git.
