| SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pa1.1:/usr/local/lib/pa1.1/X11 \
| /usr/local/bin/emacs-run $@

That last bit should be "$@" (with quotes).  Otherwise, it will fail
when invoked with arguments containing spaces.  (There used to be some
systems whose shells required the bizarre syntax ${1+"$@"} or
something equally weird, but I think those have been buried by now.)
