It works well, only thing I'd disagree with you is the skipping of spaces. I think there should be either "while(*s <= ' ') s++;" or nothing, so that all whitespace characters are treated the same way. But I'd vote to skip this entirely, it is not very common to add space between $ and variable name. Unless you know about some reason I didn't think about :)
Also, while we are at this, I'd also like to add solution to one more related problem I hit recently: There is no way to write things like "$USER_backup", because entire string would be interpreted as variables name. The solution is to allow writing "${USER}_backup", as it is done in shell. Also, it allows to use non-standard characters in variables (it is allowed on Windows and not directly prohibited by POSIX). The attached patch does exactly this. Autotest is modified accordingly.
