generally speaking, the docs have a bias towards ksh, since ksh is the
default shell. i'm not sure that that means having jobs(1) be a link to
csh(1) is wrong though. if it points to ksh(1), csh users lose out. and
vice versa.

right now csh's makefile lists some (not all) builtins as links to
csh(1). i'm not sure that i see any sense in having MLINKS to builtins,
to be honest.
