Which could be joined by a TOSENV switch to indicate that we'd rather
expect a TOS-style FOOPATH="U:\usr\lib\foo,U:\usr\local\lib\bar"
than a Unix-style FOOPATH="/usr/lib/foo:/usr/local/lib/bar" in the
environment. Other switches might be required too (suggestions?).

There might be a general switch, TOSSTYLE, to imply all other TOS*
switches. Actual code would look like:

#if defined(TOSSTYLE) || defined(TOSFS)
...     /* use profile.sh instead of .profile */
#endif
...
#if defined(TOSSTYLE) || defined(TOSENV)
...
#endif
