Um, yes. Until recently half the stuff in pending didn't even
_compile_. There's a _reason_ the default to 'n'. It's a directory full
of things that people are unhappy if I keep out of tree (usually for
months), but which aren't ready to be used either.
On balance, if I can't find a warning sign large enough, I'm just going
to delete the whole directory and start keeping it out of tree again.

Oh wow, toysh. No, it was never more than a stub and the rest of the
code has changed drastically around it in the ~4 years since the last
time it was touched. It needed fixups just to compile again, and I only
did that because after my talk at CELF people kept telling me that
"allyesconfig" didn't build. (And I went "I know, it's not supposed
to", and this confused them...)
I should have called the directory "slushpile".

If toysh _isn't_ corrupting the heap or something similar, I'd be
stunned. It's not a real command yet.
