[jbossws-dev] To SH or not to SH

[Alejandro Guízar]

Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that the .sh extension helps 
windows users say "ok, that's a linux/unix shell script, ignore". 
However, for linux/unix users, having to type the ".sh" every time is an 
annoyance.

And we want life to be easy for everyone, right.
