shar file for shells/mudsh

A MUD based shell, rescued from the pages of time. The original hosting site,
xirium.com, seems to be dead since ~2008.

Is there any reason why a shell (or command line) cannot be as tolerant or as
intelligent as a text adventure game like Zork, or a MUD [Multi User Dungeon]?
Is there any reason why a shell cannot work like such a game? ("Go North",
etc.) Actually, no and we have the implementation to prove it. Have fun, and
don't get eaten by a Grue!

Submitter still wanting this added?  Also why use archive.org for www and not just use GitHub page url?
Comment 3 Vidar Karlsen 2018-08-25 15:00:25 UTC 
(In reply to Nathan from comment #2)
I used the archive.org URL for historical reasons. The GitHub README links to that as well, so either way works for me.

^Triage:

- Please set the maintainer-approval attachment flag (to +) on patches for ports you maintain (including new ports) to signify approval.

Attachment -> Details -> maintainer-approval [+]

- If your PR is related to an URL, please put it in the URL field.

I am sorry this new port is taking so long to be committed. I hope you have not lost interest in the port in the meantime: hopefully triaging will help getting the proper attention to this PR.
By the way, some committers search for contributors' patches to commit by seeking maintainer approval flags set to +: that's why it is important to not forget about them.

I'll close this PR for now. If you are still interested in maintaining this port, I'll be happy to reopen the PR and commit your patch (just let me know if it still builds).
