I am coming a little bit late, but nobody so far has mentioned "yas".
I don't know where I got it from, most likely it was published in one
of the source groups. The author, Dave Clemans, claims that "yas" is
near enough to "ksh" to run most "ksh" scripts transparently.

"ash" is quite nice too, if the author could only write some more
documentation :-)
