tcsh extendable confguration.

[rew]

/etc/csh.login contains:

# allow for other packages/system admins to customize the shell environment
if (-e /etc/csh/login.d && `\ls /etc/csh/login.d` != "") then
  foreach FILE (`ls /etc/csh/login.d/*`)
    source $FILE;
  end;
endif

which allows packages or admins (me ;-) ) to configure extra things to do on login.

On a number of systems I've moved often-used aliases and other config things (local addition to the path) into files that I just need to put into that directory. Neat!

However for "sudo -s" to work with tcsh, these additions need to be called from csh.cshrc .

So I've now added:

# allow for other packages/system admins to customize the shell environment
set dir="/etc/csh/cshrc.d"
if (-e $dir && `ls $dir` != "") then
  foreach FILE (`ls $dir/*`)
    source $FILE;
  end;
endif

to my /etc/csh.cshrc to allow for this. It'd be neat to include this in the distribution so that in the future I no longer have to edit the system's /etc/csh.cshrc to obtain this behaviour.
