Hi, AFAIK tcsh doesn't work anymore anyway - at least it's not supported anymore. I think that the only reason that we still create two scripts is that nobody was annoyed enough to remove the code doing this. :-) Months ago I worked on that but then got in serious merge conflicts as somebody else did some refactoring in configure.in. So I just abandoned that work. AFAIR the fix was quite annoying work as the generation of the scripts is scattered over the code.
