* csh is the default shell under Solaris 8.
* How many shell scripts rely on it? (I honestly don't know)

Note: Personally, I use bash, but I cannot see the sense in eliminating

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...
