Well, getting sxt's isn't really *skipping* job control as such, its just
an alternative (to signals) way of implementing it. In fact, I did post a
set of context diffs to comp.sources.unix a while back for converting the
System V Bourne shell into a sxt job-control version (functionally compatible
with csh's BSD job control, almost), but it doesn't seem to have escaped
from Rich Salz yet. Perhaps it will sometime...
