Well since we have been busted as hell at requiring scripts to be strictly sh-compatible, this hasn't been able to slip in as our default sh (even something Ubuntu could pull off). I guess I don't care what you guys want to do with it since no one really cares about having a fast and stable sh interpreter; I gave up on this pursuit a while back as no one else seemed interested. -Dan
