The version 17 manual will be formattable with ordinary TeX,
and will be available in a few days, I hope.  I urge people
who want manuals to wait for that.

I'm not convinced it is right for the ESHELL variable
to affect noninteractive subshells.  Why should they be
different from noninteractive subshells made by all other
programs?  I suspect that more people want what ESHELL does now.

People can always set shell-file-name with setq in the .emacs file if
they really do want it to be different from the SHELL variable.
