Hmm, I don't think there is a way to do this. Are the commands launched
using /bin/sh, or with the user's login shell. There was a thread about
this, wasn't there? Sorry I didn't read it.

If it is /bin/sh, and there are systems which have a csh as their /bin/sh,
then we might want to check that at configure time.
