No functional change intended, other than a trivial shell script refactoring.

Yep, makes sense.
Changes since v5:
- Create a temporary symlink named build/spectrum.efi and then run $(MCOPY) -i $@ build/spectrum.efi ::/EFI/Linux, rather than copying the file with its original name. The latter results in an unbootable image. I do not know the reason.
If I just mcopy -i $@ $(EFI_IMAGE) ::/EFI/Linux/spectrum.efi (explicitly specifying the destination file name), then it works. It doesn't is something like "/nix/store/3yqb8mfv6skp43yp2r7sn098zrj0hrjf-spectrum-efi".
I distinctly remember it *not* working for me, but I might have used the wrong destination name. Perhaps I used Spectrum.efi (wrong case)?
This could be avoided by installing EFI_IMAGE to a subdirectory, so the file name didn't get a hash prepended to it by Nix. Happy to just go ahead with changing this and applying my style comments from last time[1] if you agree.

That would be great and an even better solution. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
