I only bothered to look up ifd files during tiger team week. Yes, they
generate csh and icl scripts. And, actually, as of five minutes ago, a
first stab at .sh is now in ifd2star.
It'll need some tweaks from someone that actually understands
sh - it generates aliases like:
alias ellpro='${ESP_DIR}/ellpro'
rather than your
ellpro () { ${ESP_DIR}/ellpro $* ;}
