Link "bash" to "ksh" to be more "portable"?

IIRC, zsh has a mode to emulate ksh, and will do so automatically if it
starts as "ksh"-named process.  There have been messages about porting
zsh to cygwin on this list, so take a look around to see if you can find
the port.  Then create a symlink ksh to zsh or just copy the program to
ksh.  Haven't tried that though.

Cheers and hope this helps,
