I started it by working from a small online tutorial about how shells work. It was not supposed to properly show you how to make a shell. It was supposed to demonstrate forking, and use of functions like execvp and waitpid. We need to restart it, move to properly parsing input using lex and yacc, and then work on implementation from there.

As part of this, we're gonna want to split it off into its own repository. I'll have to make a proper vsh repo at some point.
