TimiX scripts that need run on those different distributions could avail

#!/bin/foo.
Could you please quote this proposal?
I seem to have missed it and cannot find is in the archives.
Yep, here:

I'm still looking into this to see if it's possible (or indeed
worthwhile) - it could be a way to appease some users on a
system who want to run scripts that require that /usr/bin/xxx behave
like /usr/bin/yyy without affecting other users on the same system, as
well as being a general mechanism to make OpenSolaris-based systems more
approachable.
I believe this particular facet of the discussion really belongs on
approach-discuss, so I've set Reply-To: accordingly.
cheers,
tim
