Wouldn't this be rather messy on a system that assumes that the Bourne shell
and C shell have different syntax'es?   I'd hate to do this and come in the
next morning and find that every single thing run from crontab died overnight
because the C-shell didn't like Bourne syntax (or vice versa)...

And of course the '#!' hack only gets things even MORE confused then...
