Without addressing the issue of relevant documentation, when I was first
hit with the NO_TCSH problem I switched the startup script to sh with sh
syntax and of course it starts svscan fine (since there are no
dependencies).

As for ports which use daemontools, I only know djbdns and that doesn't
have any csh dependency AFAICT.

I would suggest that much like most low-level system oriented scripts,
Bourne shell with common syntax should be mandatory, as it is the
universal unix lowest common denominator.

If I had my way, I'd rewrite that whole ugly script.
