Re: Cleaning up elkscmd and adding help text...any volunteers?

I mentioned the man program in Elks on the musl wiki and some of the
developers that use musl seemed interested in it.  One of them did
some modifications to it.  You can find the modified version here:
https://github.com/rofl0r/hardcore-utils

Might be worth comparing to the current version in Elks to see if any
of the changes are worth using.

I've been working on my own version of various core utilities.  Some
of them are based on the simple Minix utilities (which Elks uses in
some cases).  Some of them are based on BSD or public domain code.  A
few, I've written from scratch.  They use ANSI prototypes not K&R in
most cases.  My goal for this project is to make them as portable as I
can, so they'll work on POSIX systems or Windows or even DOS.  I have
the following utilities:

based on Minix utilities:
cat
ls
du - with modifications for reusable functions for directory traversal
tr
xargs
find

based on obase utilities:
expr

original:
echo
mv

based on NetBSD utlities:
mktemp
tee
test

based on OpenBSD utiltiies:
patch

Others are also in the works and I'm still making improvements to
these when I can.  I also have BSD versions of gzip, libintl and
libiconv.  I've done some work on msh to try to add
internationalization support and minimize/remove the need to use fork.
I haven't officially released anything because everything's still
pretty much in flux.  I'd be interested in sharing code or ideas for
improvements though.  It would be nice to share some changes rather
than needing to duplicate effort.

Sincerely,
Laura
