:Ok, then what about this:
:
:1. Import tcsh into src/contrib/tcsh
:2. copy src/bin/csh/Makefile to src/bin/csh/Makefile.csh
:3. create src/bin/csh/Makefile.tcsh
:4. src/bin/csh/Makefile looks like this:
:
: .if defined(WANT_OLD_CSH)
: .include ${.CURDIR}/Makefile.csh
: .else
: .include ${.CURDIR}/Makefile.tcsh
: .endif

How about not. Just create /bin/tcsh, fixup the default csh.cshrc file
and the default [root] shell and be done with it. Don't complicate things
by trying to remove/replace csh.
In addition to my earlier objects, I agree *completely* with Terry in
regards to script writers starting to assume that tcsh features are csh
features (for example, tcsh has additional variable substitution features
that csh does not).
