see shells/bbsh.c
Will need an indent and could use the patch that i sent to the list ages
ago to make it a bit smaller and fix a glitch or two.
Ideally, hush should be tweaked to allow for just the very, very basic
duty of a shell, with if/else, case, etc being config options, at least
from my POV. Once this is done, rm bbsh and lash, i suppose.
