Switching users from csh to sh

Having each user do something like "/bin/sh startup.stuff" doesn't allow
the startup script to define environment variables for user (like MANPATH).
We (well, one person is doing all the work) are working on an m4 script
that will generate a common .cshrc and .profile that each user can source
from his/her .cshrc/.profile. They can choose to not reference it if they
wish. By `source'-ing rather than executing you get the advantage that I
wanted above (environment variables stay around).
