I just knew someone was going to comment on configuration.  Fortunately
I'm getting out of the ports business, so I'm just providing my diffs
for whomever is going to maintain the tcsh port to look at.

Okay.  I'll take your word for it.  I pulled that one out of the old
tcsh patches from the port.

Like I said, these are my diffs.

See above.  When I put dot first in my path, I mean put dot first
in my path.

I never want the system to automatically log me out.  But I may agree
with you here, since it's easy to just unset the autologout variable.
Still, this is my tcsh executable and I don't want to be bothered
with unsetting autologout.

Ache once said it took a long time and since most of my shells are local
---actually, all the shells that run off this binary---I'm optimizing
away the startup time.
