I somehow fail to understand, why you all are so keen to put
'#!/bin/sh' in the beginning of shell scripts. I definitly want the
'#!' feature myself, but why can't we live with '#!c:\bin\sh'. I mean,
if there thousands of shell script, which could be moved from UNIX to
MiNT and which can then run unmodified, then I can possibly understand
the request, but we are on the ST which uses the '\' in the kernel.

Even with the links in the unified filesystem, I don't that we have a
standard filesystem layout ala unix soon.
