How do I get #!/com/sh scripts to read an Aegis shell startup file
automatically, without having to source ~/user_data/sh.sh or
~/user_data/sh/startup explicitly in each shell script?  Similarly, how do I
pass other arguments to /com/sh (such as -eon or -script)?

I tried putting flags after #!/com/sh in the first line, but as far as I
could tell they didn't get read at all.  Since /com/sh doesn't read a startup
file by default, you end up not getting the right csr's etc. in many cases
(e.g., if you cp'd a process to run that script, or if the shell script is
run from a Unix shell which hasn't itself been created underneath a /com/sh
with the right csr.  This is a related problem; I have to do something gross
like "/com/sh -start ~/user_data/sh.sh -c /bin/start_csh" to start Unix
shells to get around this.)
