There is no "exists" - the wildcard function will do the equivalent. There are some "if file exists" type statements in the GNU Chess makefile, similar ones are generated by automake in almost all GNU projects, and most projects using the GNU build tools. The GNU tools use various strategies for doing this, as Neil mentioned the script needs some escaping, but the examples are copious.
