I just recalled another way of dealing with that. Does anybody remember
good ol' days when some vendors had so called `universes' in their UNIX
system? The user could change between them by universe(1):
universe att
or
universe bsd
or (on Siemens systems)
universe sie
which started a new shell in the corresponding universe. So we define
universe lin
and
universe cyg
and all our problems will disappear at once! :-)
