Ahem, what you see is that in one case every string output by the echo
goes to the file, while in the second case only the first string goes to
the file; the others go directly to the standard output. So redirection
is working differently when the command executed in each "for" iteration
is an "if" and when it isn't (unless I'm understanding erroneously what
"for" and "if" should do...).

In the makefile the command is almost exactly like the one in this
example, with the same effect: only the first directory goes to
subdirs.el, the others are just output to the screen.
