RE: adding '#' to the end of the superuser's prompt

	I disagree. The shell shouldn't be changing your prompt. If the
root user isn't competent enough to set that up himself, he shouldn't
have a root login. For instance, my normal prompt contains the word
'Sir' in it - when I'm root, it is 'SIR' in bold/inverse letters.
I'm sure that others have equivalent tricks. However, I'd say that it's
really a non-problem if it can be turned off by a compile time flag.
