The way I stop a non-interactive C-shell from sourcing my .cshrc commands
is by checking if this shell incarnation has a prompt.  The whole .cshrc
file is enclosed by a test on $prompt:

        if ($?prompt) then
         .cshrc commands
        endif

This means that it isn't necessary to change all programs using csh for
filename expansion etc. to use the -f flag and the shell starts up almost
as fast.
