Hello,

Attached are two small patches that allow me to run the Gash test suite
with Geesh, like so

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
PATH=$PATH:bin SHELL='../geesh/pre-inst-env geesh' ./check.sh 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

assuming that both projects live in the same parent directory.

Geesh does much better than Gash, it only fails 11/126 tests.

Moreover, all POSIX tests pass!  The ones that fail involve `echo -e'
and Bash-isms, notably substitutions like ${var/foo} (and all %, %%, #,
##, ...etc).

What a great job!

Interestingly, Gash passes all tests that Geesh fails, and Gash fails
about 20 other tests.

It looks like that once we manage to combine Geesh and Gash, stealing
eachothers code or otherwise, we have a shell that can replace bash and
coreutils&co in the initial bootstrap.
