This is my implementation of some of the basic Unix utilities.  They are
written to conform to the X/Open Single Unix Specification Version 2.  Why
use mine instead of GNU?  Well, you probably shouldn't!  The GNU utilities
are more stable, been tested well, have more options and run fast.  There
are only two reasons why you might want to use mine. First, if you need
X/Open compatibility, GNU utilities follow the POSIX standard.  X/Open !=
POSIX, although they are close.  Second, if you do not have glibc on your
system.  Which probably means that you don't have GCC either and you would
have to modify the makefiles.  The utilities are written in ANSI/ISO C, so 
they should compile with just about any C compiler out there.

The utilities included are:

	basename (assumes '/' is directory delimiter)
	cat
	cksum
	cmp
	comm	(incomplete)
	count
	false
	no
	od	(incomplete)
	replace
	sample
	split	(incomplete)
	tr	(incomplete)
	true
	yes
	wc
	
To build the sources, just run 'make'.  You may need to modify
'Makefile'.  You can also set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to your liking on the
command line as follows:

If you want to build with debugging...

$ make CFLAGS="-g -O2" LDFLAGS="-g"

Or profiling...

$ make CFLAGS="-pg -O2" LDFLAGS="-pg"
