Yes... sh.1 gets shipped in a modified form as ksh93(1) with Solaris
(but we keep the original in the tree to reflect the status of the
source tree 1:1) and shell.3/nval.3 should follow with a later ARC case
when we slightly bump the stability status of this interface.

"shcomp" has been forwarded to a seperate ARC case because it adds a
kernel module ("shbinexec" which works similar to javaexec) to recognize
compiled shell code.

Uh-oh... I forgot that thing (until now... I wrote a giant yellow
"PostIt" paper and glued it on my whiteboard) ... thanks for the
hint... :-)
