tcsh /etc/default files

tcsh /etc/default files

[Achim Gratz]

I'm not certain if I ever discussed this before, but the recent tcsh
update reminded me that I think the defaults should be changed a little
bit.  First off, running the scripts in profile.d should IMHO be done in
csh.login to ensure it's only done once.  Secondly the (optional)
cleaning up of the PATH variable already introduced for all POSIX shells
in base-files years ago should be replicated for tcsh.  Lastly, since
/usr/bin/ and /bin are the same thing on Cygwin, one of them is
redundant and placement of /usr/local/bin should be left at the
discretion of the user since tha directory does not exist by default on
Cygwin.

Fine with me, but these files are not part of the distro package
only.  They are part of the upstream tcsh package and just copied
into the right place by a cygwin-specific postinstall step, also
part of the upstream Makefile.

I'm going to send the patch upstream, with a very minor tweak it
applies cleanly.


Thanks,
Corinna

Hmm, OK.  Preferrably we wouldn't install them with tcsh and leave that
to base-files.

That'll hopefully work.
