GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.5) of
2008-12-29 on a1iulm2

The docstring of "sh-ancestor-alist" mentions tcsh as the "Turbo" C
Shell. According to <http://www.tcsh.org/tcsh.html/THE_T_IN_TCSH.html>
the "t" stands for "TENEX".

And the "i" of itcsh stands for "Ian's", see the following article by
its author: <http://www.idallen.com/oclug/2002_unixtalk/talk.txt>

Patch for CVS trunk is included below.

Ulrich
