Oops I made an error here.  There I go skimming man pages again :)  Ash 
will consider a process named "-ash" (argument zero) to be a login shell.  
This is hard to do unless you use something like bash's "exec -l" option
or maybe play with hard links which is ugly.  Therefore for ash you might
want to do the same thing I proposed for tcsh, reading in /etc/profile
then ~/.profile to set up the environment inherited by the exec'd shell.
