For those without access to both 10.4 and 10.5 machines:

On 10.4:

	nicl . -read /users/$USER shell

and

	dscl . -read /users/$USER shell

both produce output like this:

	shell: /bin/bash

On 10.5, nicl does not exist, and

	dscl . -read /users/$USER shell

produces output like this:

	dsAttrTypeNative:shell: /bin/bash



So we should set THE_UTIL to "nicl" on 10.4 and earlier, or "dscl" on  
10.5 and up, and then use:

	$THE_UTIL . -read /users/$USER shell | sed 's/^.*: //'
