I'm not interested in AT&T's implementations of other utilities,
actually.  Why would we include those?  If they are a requirement
for ksh then I'm not sure I want ksh.

I'd suggest a simple ksh release without the plugins (or whatever
they're called) and a separate package for the plugins.  If you have
other executables that are not plugins then I think they will just
be confusing and I really don't think I'm interested.

Actually, if the plugins work differently from the stand-alone versions
then I have reservations, too.

It sure sounds like this should be one (or many) different packages,
though, regardless.
