e.g.
warn message = mark perkel asks the wrong question
${if exists {directory_path}\
{yes}{no}}
test1
test2
...
but if a test gives a negative result all subsequent will not be
called. You could instead set a flag (acl_mX) in the ${if exists }
and use that as a condition for your conditional tests.
Or you could wrap each test (if the logical result is not important)
in a ${if {yes}{yes}} construct. Ah, the thinks you can think!
