I would keep MKSHELL. I use mk a lot under FreeBSD. They're
mostly things I originally used bmake for, but I got annoyed
with various of its oddities. Having MKSHELL=/bin/sh means
less work in converting Makefiles to mkfiles. You can
always set MKSHELL=$PLAN9/bin/rc. If I remember, your
original problem was in inheriting MKSHELL in recursive use.
Getting rid of MKSHELL seems like a drastic solution to
that problem.
