+	Most builtins need access to the struct child_prog that has

+------ -----------------  ---------
+cd      cmd->progs[0]

+exit    cmd->progs[0]

+help    0
+jobs    job_list->head
+pwd     0
+export  cmd->progs[0]  passes cmd, job_list to builtin_env(), which ignores them
+source  cmd->progs[0]

+then    cmd->job_context,  cmd->text
+else    cmd->job_context,  cmd->text
+fi      cmd->job_context
+
+The use of cmd->text by if/then/else/fi is hopelessly hacky.
+Would it work to increment cmd->progs[0]->argv and recurse,
+somewhat like builtin_exec does?
+
+I added "struct job *family;" to struct child_prog,
+and switched API to builtin_foo(struct child_prog *child);
+So   cmd->text        becomes  child->family->text
+     cmd->job_context  becomes  child->family->job_context
+     cmd->progs[0]    becomes  *child
+     job_list          becomes  child->family->job_list
