I think another package could be added or a build option.

We already have:

bash (3)
bash2
static-bash2

ast-ksh
static-ast-ksh

tcsh
static-tcsh
standalone-tcsh

So why not another package to match some of these needs :)

(By the way, I want to have native NetBSD ksh support ! history -- I 
have a habit of using !!, !number and !ls for example.)
