--- Comment #4 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb at freebsd.org> ---
As someone who supports CentOS and FreeBSD in production, I'm potentially
interested in this as well.  It would simplify creating portable shell env
customizations that work on both BSD and Linux.

I wonder if there are security or stability concerns that someone might raise,
though.  A feature like this opens up the possibility of ports installing
things that modify the default environment, unbeknownst to the sysadmin.

If it goes forward, we would need checks in all the startup scripts, e.g.
/etc/csh.cshrc, /etc/csh.login, /etc/profile, ...

We might also want to check ${LOCALBASE}/etc/profile.d.
