An extension like this could be implemented totally transparent.

ksh could look for [/etc/|~/.] kshenv, kprofile, kshrc and ignore
profile and ENV.

If kprofile does not exist ksh would load the standard sh files. That
way existing users wouldn't even notice it, and no changes would be
required in greg's scripts :)

Just make sure not to duplicate csh's design flaws and *not* load
kshrc for non-interactive shells (see other mail).
