	Now THIS is an idea worth looking into.  Problem is, no matter how much
effort is put into making a universally accepted standard, this shell
could end up like linux, with multiple distributions, and thousands of
nearly incompatible versions.  Everyone on the list would have to
install a new copy of the shell almost weelky, which would be a hassle,
because of having to reinstall programs afterwards.

	However, this should still be looked into.

	How many of the shell developers out there are interested?  It's not
like the shells are being licensed right now, so there wouldn't be any
loss of profit.
