Log:
  sh(1): Modernize the introduction a bit.
  
  In particular, remove the text about ksh-like features, which are usually
  taken for granted nowadays. The original Bourne shell is fading away and for
  most users our /bin/sh is one of the most minimalistic they know.

Modified:
  head/bin/sh/sh.1
