That's all? I had to build a hand-patched tcsh across our platform list 
because the unpatched sources *won't run* if tcsh doesn't understand 
LS_COLORS. And some csh's have the same behavior. IOW you couldn't run 
[t]csh *at all* with the newer LS_COLORS features.

Anyway, just wondering if you've also seen this and what if anything has 
been done to Cygwin's tcsh to cope.
