* csh is the default shell under Solaris 8.
* How many shell scripts rely on it? (I honestly don't know)
* Why?
Note: Personally, I use bash, but I cannot see the sense in eliminating
this option. This is like trying to kill a window manager because it
is not truly needed. Perhaps from the perspective of a distribution,
this may make sense. However, some users might prefer it, so the
ability to add it on...
