Not to take away from your question (which is a good one), I have a
related question which may have an answer similar or related to whatever
the answer is to yours:

When you compile CDE through the FreeBSD ports system, it pulls in ksh93
as a dependency package.  There is a package options switch for the
ksh93 package to let you choose whether the port will install as 'ksh'
or 'ksh93'.  Last time I tried to install CDE this way, the CDE build
failed if ksh93 was installed as 'ksh' because it couldn't be found.  I
really prefer installing as ksh since ksh93 is kind of bizarre as an
executable name, and the FreeBSD port gives you a choice to let you
avoid that.

Will CDE on FreeBSD always require ksh to be named ksh93 at compile time?
