Well, the main point is that the scripts are just used to build the
library. Reading POSIX, you *can* *not* rely on /bin/sh being a POSIX
shell. That is, you cannot rely on the shellbang. You *have* to call
scripts like  'sh myscript.sh'  to get "proper" execution, but that's
not done in all places.

The reminder is, either fix the build system to "correctly" call all
scripts, or just use constructs that work in all shells. ...and in the
cases pointed out, there's no csh-specific problems.

So explicitely writing for csh is probably just dumb, but throwing
away compatibility for no good reason is as well :)

MfG, JBG
