Nope.  csh(1) is terrible for scripting and only mildly annoying for
interactive use.  I'd accept something that lists *two* sets of commands
that can be copied to a file and minimally changed to alter the $D path,
but intermixing scripts that run in sh(1), csh(1), zsh(1) or anything
else is not very nice imho :/
