Tasks for GNU fileutils (listed in order of decreasing priority):
unify textutils/fileutils/sh-utils
libitize
update copyright dates
make help/version output conformant
ls: test suite to exercize -l and -l --full-time with various LANG settings
mv: move non-regular files between partitions. This will probably
involve factoring out and librarizing cp's copying code.
ls: recognize --format="%a %b..." strftime formats
ls: add new % formats to get the 10 bytes of the permissions string
(both individually and as groups)
cp, mv, ln, install: make --verbose report on backup files
chmod, chown (maybe others): Don't strip slashes unless configure
detects that e.g. lstat can't deal with them.
fix automake's
rm -f $(libexec_PROGRAMS)
rule of clean-libexecPROGRAMS
chown/chgrp/chmod: add new option: --reference=FILE see +utils/chown
