Yeah, the existence of that code is interesting and news to me, but
for the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to guess it's not a
POSIX compliant shell.  I bet their experience was that nothing in
NetBSD would build under their shell, so they had to switch to the
NetBSD posix-compliant shell first.

It looks like a pretty serious attempt, but seems a bit thin (in my
highly unscientific judgement).  I don't really have a way of testing
it short of digging up old MINIX binaries, which I'm not really in the
mood for :)
