For the last two years or so I also prefer bmake for _my own_ tools but
bmake is not POSIX too.

True, but this is not good enough reason to reimplement csh scripts in
sh within pkgsrc. It is much better to talk to upstream first.
There you may find csh-lover. The same for tcl/perl/gmake etc.

Many people treat shell/awk/unix_tools programming deprecated for years
and years. The same for perl. They push python, ruby and tons of other
things. So what? Upstream developers choose whatever they like.
