  Description     : The diet shell

The shish shell provides an interactive shell language interpreter. This
shell aims at being very small and doing its tasks in efficient ways
(and not through 100 abstraction layers), which is mainly done by using the
dietlibc and libowfat libraries and by design considerations according to
Fefe's excellent howto. shish will be a POSIX compatible shell language
interpreter according to the IEEE P1003.2 Draft 11.2 by its 1.0 release.
