I'm noticing, though, that bash seems to run more quickly than tcsh;
I thought I'd give it a try.  Of COURSE it's going to be a bit more
bloated:  it's trying to handle constructs from the csh and ksh
worlds at the same time.  I suspect that the readline library
adds a bit as well  (128k+, it looks like).
