I'd prefer to see the dotfiles in /usr/share/examples/skel -
I tend to leave defaults in /etc/csh.* and create homedirs without
any dotfiles.
If we do go ahead with this, is there a way to tell useradd on a
stock system to create the home directory without populating it
with any files. (short of deleting /etc/skel).
