Enhancing the user experience with tcsh

In conf/160689 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=160689)
there has been some discussion about changing the default cshrc file.

I'd like to commit something like the following based on Chris's patch
at the end of the thread. This post is an attempt to open the change
to wider discussion.
