We only need to know the shell type (e.g., Bourne or C), to know whether
to use (e.g.) export or setenv, etc.

This page:

	http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3327013/how-to-determine-the-current-shell-im-working-on

has a nice set of heuristics on how to detect shell types, and I'm sure
we can cook up something using that.

PS: In the next release the intent is for loadLSST.sh to go away
entirely (the entire stack gets fully managed by EUPS), which may make
this issue disappear as well (as I think Robert was careful re how he
detects the shell for EUPS; if not, we'll fix it).
