Subject:	dash (Debian Ash), compiles but won't work ... yet ("Cannot fork")

Hey guys,
   Okay, I know this complex and maybe unnecessary since we have Bash,
but just humor me. I don't actually expect any of you to actually mess
with this, but I felt strongly that I should at least weakly attempt
to compile Dash and see how close we can get with it. Call it morbid
curiosity, boredom, whatever. And I don't know nearly enough, so
please pardon / ignore any obvious errors (although comments welcome).

Basically, with a few hacks it does compile but won't work. Same
obvious issues apply (no fork support, PATH needs conversion, etc). It
shouldn't be THAT hard to get this working. And it is much simpler and
smaller code than Bash and would be a nice alternative (to avoid Bash
bugs, perhaps).

Anyways, you may hate my style (I'm not too fond of it), but here goes
my lame .BAT / sed script. Have fun!       ;-)
