I couldn't find an easy way to work around this while doing the tests,
so let's disable them for now and work on fixing the sandbox shell
instead (and re-enable tests after that is deployed; I hope).
Upstream now provides a Makefile that builds a self-extracting installer and
also has a test target. We don't need the self-extracting installer, but we
might as well build it anyway as an additional test.
Currently, a self-extracting archive created by makeself will fail to
properly execute on NixOS because the boilerplate Bash code it uses to
clean up the temporary directory it extracted its contents into
assumes that the `rm` command is installed at `/bin/rm`, which is not
the case on NixOS.
This commit, a backport of a pull request I made to the upstream
repository at megastep/makeself#142, fixes the issue by causing the
boilerplate code to call `rm` without specifying an absolute path,
which allows the version of `rm` from one's current Nix environment to
be used instead.
