In general I would say: YES
But if at some point in the future there are features used, that really 
only work for one shell,
we can still reduce the tested shells for this script.

Btw: ksh is not really support, it complains about all local variables,
because it only allows them in "function <name>"-style functions.
But the timeout code still works even there.
