Re: New ksh/ksh93 package, half the size, ten times the features!!!!

[ольга крыжановская <olga.kryzhanovska@gmail.com>]

Thorsten, thanks for the review, but the package was not intended for
official review yet. I only send it around, to find a mentor, and then
weed out the bugs, one by one, and some one else leaked that posting
to debian-devel, before the work was ready.
The package was intentionally AMD64 only for now, to simplify testing.
I already have a better, more cross platform version, but still would
prefer to work out the dependencies one, by one, as you already found
out.
