This is an attempt to make the utilities specified in

General Bugs:
The environment variables LANG, LC_ALL,
LC_CTYPE, and LC_MESSAGES are ignored.
The use of -- as an argument to stop option processing
is generally not done.
The many 'not implemented' functions will be implemented
as scripts using them show up.
