Hmm.  Well, I am extremely tempted to add a new feature to
/usr/bin/env which could be used in situations where the previous
parsing-behavior was needed.  The '#!#<' behavior was really meant
just as an emergency stop-gap -- and it won't go away until the next
time you cvsup...  :-)

I'm also willing to write some more changes to sh/options.c, if that
is the best place to fix the problems that these ports are running
into.
