At some point in the future we need to look at updating the ksh93 base
of dtksh. dtksh is currently based on ksh93d-, which is an alpha
version. The current AT&T ksh stable upstream version is ksh93u+, ~15
years newer, much more stable and much more portable. Runs on Linux
(Suse, Fedora, embedded, etc), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Illumos,
HP/UX, too.
The license issues (if there are actually any, so far I haven't seen
proof by a lawyer) are solvable by using libshell.so.1, which is ksh93
as shared library.
