Chase,

merged to master-ksh93-upgrade.

I also merged master into this branch, which went fairly well.  But I
did run into a problem. 

No matter what I did, the special 'gitlink' entry for
cde/programs/dtksh/ksh93 always disappeared in favor of an empty ksh93
directory.  In the end, I just manually re-added the module and did a
build.  The build worked, and ran fine in the little testing I did.

Please look over what I did with regard to having to re-add the ksh93
submodule.

Anyway, if this looks good from your side, let me know.  What I would
like to then do is tag master as 2.3.2a, increment the version number to
2.3.2b, and then merge this branch into master. 

We will also need to change the instructions on the wiki for checking
out from git (when this gets merged into master).  Am I correct in that
something like the following should suffice?

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code cdesktopenv-code
git submodule update --init

Should do the trick?  I suspect that will confuse people who forget...
If you have suggestions, let me know.  Is it possible to have the build
update/checkout the submodule automatically if it hasn't already been
updated/checked out?

After letting it stew for a few weeks in master, I'd then like to do a
release, but that will require someone being able to test on various
operating systems.

Anyway, nice work - it will be good to have a newer, better supported
ksh in CDE.
