Your code ;-)
My code also doesn't depend on csh and will not depend on it.

GNU make and BSD make. Most today's software relies on these make's
features and therefore depend on non-posix tools.

Neither gzip (.tar.gz) nor bzip2 (.tar.bz2) are a part of Std
1003.1-2008 (2008!). At least 95% of software sources are distributed in
these two formats.

If you know csh is _completely_ broken (I don't) speak to upstream.

AFAIK shells/tcsh is backward compatible with csh.

Do you want to rewrite GNU Makefiles for POSIX make?
I don't.

P.S.  We dispute about mere trifles. There is more helpful pkgsrc work
than reimplementing csh scripts, e.g. pkg/41297.
