At least on Gentoo, the distribution provides scripts (python in this case)
which construct both a sh-like /etc/profile, and a csh-like /etc/profile.csh
from the various broken out files. Further, shell-specific scripts can be
placed in profile.d/* with appropriate extensions: .sh files are read by
bash start-up scripts, and .csh by csh derivative shells.
My solution was to hand-duplicate the functionality of the profile.d/*.sh
scripts, and use my own tool to handle the auto-generated conten in
/etc/profile.
