[JOSS-review] add csh as dependency

Issue #3 resolved
Michael Zingale created an issue

csh/tcsh is needed to build Chombo and is usually not installed on linux systems by default – it should be listed as a dependency in the README.md

    actually, it might just be that we should build with

    make CSHELLCMD=/bin/bash

    ?

    I’ll test that out.

    indeed, if I build on a system without csh/tcsh, it fails, but I can fix the build scripts by compiling as:

    make CSHELLCMD="/bin/bash -c" lib

    perhaps then this can be documented as an alternate to requiring a csh install?

    Thanks for identifying this issue. I have added that alternative compile option into the documentation notes for compiling Chombo.
