+1 for this :)

Why is it that everybody wants EVERYTHING configurable from with/without mozilla and we need to cope with every buggy freetype version (as example, insert your favorite "system" library here), but all of a sudden it would be considered a good idea imposing a shell on people ?

It is of course a good idea to impose a *shell* on people. ;) SCNR, but I think tcsh is much inferior to bash or even sh when it comes to scripting. See for example the bash vs. tcsh definitions of AUGMENT_LIBRARY_PATH at the end of <http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/sb104/solenv/inc/unx.mk>. That is also the reason why I would support completely dropping support for tcsh from the OOo code base.

using csh for scripting is not a good idea anyway:
