I got the impression that you are struggling with difficulties (for unknown reasons)
around adding space characters at some places.
How would you like to improve this situation?

* Allow defining the environment variable “COCCI” as a directory
  to search SmPL scripts.

* Start a corresponding file determination if it contains
  an acceptable path.


Would you like to update the provided software documentation together with
the small extension of this bash script?

‣ Would you find the patch change log sufficient without the information
  “Changes in”?

‣ I find the specification “1:” unnecessary before a single description item.
