I wonder how many new users have read the bugs section of the shar man
page, and know how to check such files for malicious script lines.
That's not much of an issue for ports submission, but people are
routinely posting these files in the mailing lists.

Am I the only one that thinks it's odd that in 2010 we're still using
executable scripts to distribute text files?
