env bash is needed since not every system has it in /bin
(that basically includes everytihng except linux, mac and solaris?)

Maintaining the csh style files are not needed and it just duplicates
the work. If you want to build it, use a bourne-shell or go and download
the binary packages.

No, that's a misunderstanding. I (and Mac) have no problem if
scripts/the build utilities use bash. (and for the build it is already
a requirement, so the env bash seems superfluous)

Where I had doubts is when it comes to forcing the user to work with
bash as the user's interactive shell (i.e. dropping the csh style
environment file to source in)
But then again that wouldn't affect me personally, as I'm using bash
anyway, and would not touch most of the Mac users either, as nowadays
bash is the default shell there as well.

(I don't have and idea how many people use csh)
