I built a version of tcsh for Linux.  It's currently sitting in
/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/dev/.build.i386_linux1/tcsh.  I'll install it
in /afs/sipb/project/tcsh/tcsh as soon as Derek fixes the executables
bug in Linux-AFS (it can't run executables out of AFS unless they're
small or already all in cache).

This version of tcsh sets HOSTTYPE to linux, rather than i386-linux.
/bin/tcsh on most Linux systems sets HOSTTYPE to i386-linux, resulting
in $bindir being i386-linuxbin for many people.

We may want to distribute this as /bin/athena/tcsh in the Linux-Athena
stuff.  I'll set this up soon.

As long as I'm sending mail: I plan to migrate linux-athena into AFS
space as soon as Linux-AFS comes out of beta, so that we can free up
space on sipb-nfs (which competes with discuss and, right now, some
WAIS stuff which shouldn't be on the same disk).  If people think this
is a bad idea, tell me.
