I haven't decided yet whether to use lib/sh/compat.c, in which case I'll
add a call to init_compat() into main() so the linker links that file
into libsh.a, or use some other mechanism like creating libloadables.a.
The former is better for third-party loadable builtins in that it
doesn't require rebuilding; the latter is a more general approach that
requires more changes to the loadables build process. None of this stuff
has been released yet anyway.

In any event, thanks for pointing out where the examples still need to
change.
