+define Package/mksh/description
+mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
+shell (pdksh), a Bourne-compatible shell which is largely si-
+milar to the original AT&T Korn shell; mksh is the only pdksh
+derivate currently being actively developed.  It includes bug
+fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern,
+robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
+mksh has UTF-8 support (in substring operations and the Emacs
+editing mode) and - while R50 corresponds to OpenBSD 5.5-cur-
+rent ksh (without GNU bash-like PS1 and fancy character clas-
+ses) - adheres to SUSv4 and is much more robust. The code has
+been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards compli-
+ance added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibi-
+lity to other modern shells - as well as a couple of its own)
+are available. It has sensible defaults as usual with BSD.

+Subject: [PATCH] Make default mkshrc file suitable for OpenWrt environment:
+
+* Part of the FreeWRT patches:
+  - no hostname(1)
+  - ls(1) has no -o option
+* OpenWrt and FreeWRT-1.0 fix:
+  - since this is not ~/.mkshrc make sure subshells find it
