Hello
I've recently been playing with mksh [1] and oksh [2], both of
which require tweaking of line 11 in the X11 script in
XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS.
Changing the `case` statement on that line to
oksh|mksh|ksh|sh|zsh)
is starting to look a little unwieldy, especially considering
that they're both derivatives of pdksh [3], which should
probably also get a mention; in fact pdksh should probably be
considered for inclusion before oksh, or even mksh for that
matter.
Which leads me to wonder whether ksh deserves a wildcard in the
case statement, although I'm not sure if that's an altogether
elegant, or prudent, solution either.
Thanks for all the good work on XQuartz.
