Are the existing packages somehow inadequate? I've heard of busybox. I fear that any such effort would induce significant additions of `#if' directives or -- worse -- duplicate code. I don't want changes that make the code less readable/maintainable. But I'll try to keep an open mind :-) _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
