Well, my idea was to do it incrementally, e.g. step by step with
multiple putbacks while making sure that all new stuff uses the "new"
style...
... any idea who may be interested to sponsor an "all in one" patch
(where "all in one" means first the "easy", low-risk changes (e.g.
replace existing Bourne-style constructs with the equivalent ksh
constructs etc.) and the more complex changes in a 2nd putback).
