find -name "$FOO" | awk "$AWKPROG" | sh
This should work even if sh is dash - only the AWKPROG translations are
bash specific (and they could probably be avoided at the cost of other
ugliness, maybe with sed).
BTW, the only difference between $FOO and ${FOO} is to protect against
alphanumerics literally following the occurence of FOO. It has no
quoting effect on the _contents_ of $FOO.
