(root at blue)~:cvs co -d etc src/etc
(root at blue)~:cd etc
(root at blue)~/etc:grep tcsh shells
/bin/tcsh
(root at blue)~/etc:

How many programs does this incompatability actually break? 
Realistically? If it hasn't been a problem in the last 4 years it makes 
me wonder if anyone is actually writing or using shell scripts written 
for this.

I'm not opposed to adding a real csh to /bin, but if we're only adding 
it to work around a minor incompatability that few if any programs rely 
on I don't see it as being a necessity.
