Basically (except the ToDo list below) I am now waiting that April
finishes the ARC one pager... ;-(
... once this is done we have to go through some sort of official
review&feedback - and beyond that point I cannot predict anything... ;-(

My remaining ToDo list looks like this:
- Integrate ksh93r+_alpha into the prototype002 tree
- Fix the builtins (and convince upstream to accept the patch from
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-May/000346.html)
- Make sure profile shell mode works when pfksh is launched as
/usr/bin/pfksh93 or /bin/pfksh93
- Make sure restricted shell mode works when rksh is launched as
/usr/bin/rksh93 or /bin/rksh93
- Fix /etc/shells to include ksh93 and variants as login-shells
- Fix |libc::wordexp()| (e.g. I am waiting Sun staff feedback for
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-May/000364.html)
- Think about inclusion of "shcomp".

Bye,
Roland
