Damn. Just tried tcsh and it choked on $() *and* ``. Are you telling me there are systems out there braindamaged enough to ship only a csh-like shell ? Because if we want a script that works with the dumbest shell in existence (in this case tcsh) I really don't see how we can make it. I'd say lets just stick with posix shells. I've always heard csh-like shells where pretty weird and this only confirms it. I we really want to work on csh-only systems, I fear we'll have to ship another script in real native csh syntax.
