#! /bin/cc 
at the beginning of a shell script works just fine, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.
The whole file gets passed as input to the command, rather than the
whole file minus the first line; we found this out when we tried

#! /bin/cat
text of message

and couldn't get rid of the first line. 

Of course, fixing this would make the kernel understand what a
"line" means, which would be even more bletcherous....

Cheers,
