John,

If you plan to use the "case on the shell" bit, I just realized it might
be a good idea to add the shells with the .exe extension as possible
matches, e.g.,

bash | -bash | */bash | bash.exe | -bash.exe | */bash.exe)

Also, for the ksh case, do we need to match "pdksh"?  Is anyone likely to
invoke that as a login shell (by that name, I mean, not as "ksh")?
	Igor
