DESCRIPTION
ShadowStart is a small utility that should be called from the
startup-sequence.

If the activation-key is pressed down a requester pops up, asking you if
you want the WBStartup-drawer, the User-Startup script or both to be
disabled.

This means, you can bootup a "clean" Workbench, without any programs in
WBStartup or User-Startup executed!  And also a new shell-window can be
opened for changing things befor executing the startup-sequence. 
(Sourcecode is included.)

NEW FEATURES
    Before any key checks are performed ShadowStart checks if the
    SYS: partition is currently being validated.
    If yes, Shadowstart waits 3 seconds and checks the disk
    state again.
    When the validation is finished, ShadowStart automatically
    continues with its normal execution.
    The main effect of this feature is that startup execution will
    be delayed until the SYS: partition is validated
    (no more disk-trashing on startup).
    The validation check is always performed, if the activation-key
    is pressed or not.

FUTURE
    Ideas and suggestions are always welcome!
