speedup of tcsh

Description:
A little over a year ago Paul Placeway posted an enhancement to csh.
These enhancements built upon Ken Greers modifications of csh. The result
is called tcsh.

There was a problem with the enhancements as distributed: Login took a
very long time. Some debugging shows that tcsh spends almost all it's time
in
	rehash
during login. I finally got around too fixing this. When a rehash is performed
all directories in 'path' (except '.') are read. As distributed tcsh checks
that a file in 'path' is executable before permitting it to enter the
hash table. It is this check (system call access()) that is responsible
for the long time spent in dohash(). As almost all files in 'path' are
executable no great harm is done by eliminating this code.

Fix:

- 			strcat (fnamebuf, "/");
- 			strcat (fnamebuf, dp->d_name);
- 
- 			if (access(fnamebuf, 1)) /* if not exe file */
- 				continue;
- 
  			xhash[hash(dp->d_name)] |= (1 << i);
  			tw_add_comm_name (dp->d_name);
  		}

  			if (*(dp->d_name) == '.')
  				continue;
  
  			xhash[hash(dp->d_name)] |= (1 << i);
  			tw_add_comm_name (dp->d_name);
  		}
End of fix.
