-Scsh is a Unix shell in that is has significant syntax extensions to
-make writing Unix shell scripts easy (constructing pipelines, setting
-I/O redirection, conditional execution etc.). It also offers access to
-lower-level functionality like all Posix system calls, TCP/IP sockets
-and a full-featured regular expression library. This is embedded into
-a general-purpose programming language with real data types,
-extensive, syntactically clean control constructs and "real" quoting
-rules.
-
-Scsh is also a full implementation of R4RS Scheme with some
-non-standard behavior (required for scripting). As a result, a wide
-varity of exiting Scheme code can be used. The underlying Scheme
-implementation is a virtual machine for compact byte code.
-
-The name of the installed program is "scsh", the manpage is scsh(1),
-other documentation is in (/usr/local/)lib/scsh/doc. To load slib,
-install slib into /usr/local/lib/slib and run (load "slib-init.scm")
-in scsh. It requires no additional setup (paths or such). The emacs
-interface is in the original distribution in emacs/. For documentation
-see doc/user-guide.txt.
-
-Differences between FreeBSD port and generic scsh release:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-1) When hitting C-d (end-of-file), scsh asks 100 times for
-confirmation. I changed the default to do this just once. Set constant
-*y-or-n-eof-count* in scsh/rw.scm to change it.
-
-2) The original scsh sends a mail to the scsh authors every time you
-make the package. The FreeBSD port doesn't. The authors of scsh would
-appreciate it if you do a `(cd work/scsh-0.4.4 && make .notify)` after
-you build this package.
-
-3) A symbolic link ${PREFIX}/share/doc/scsh to the documentation is
-created.
-
-4) Some basic description text files from the distribution base dir
-are copied to lib/doc. The emacs directory is copied into
-lib/scsh/emacs. scsh's default is not to install these files.
-
-5) Some /usr/tmp -> /var/tmp
