The Free Software Foundation's "sh" utilities, including "basename",
"chroot", "date", "dirname", "echo", "env", "expr", "false",
"groups", "hostid", "hostname", "id", "logname", "nice", "nohup",
"pathchk", "pinky", "printenv", "printf", "pwd", "sleep", "stty",
"su", "tee", "test", "true", "tty", "uname", "users", "who",
"whoami", and "yes".
Similar utilities to most of these exist in the FreeBSD base system,
but many of the GNU versions have added functionality that is
useful.
Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdate, gexpr, or gtest, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to them without the `g' prefix.
GNU su does not support a wheel group. This port installs it
without the suid bit, unless you define WITH_SUID while building.

Rename included eaccess() function to avoid clash with -CURRENT's
eaccess(2) system call.

with a "-old" suffix -- gettext-old will have its deorbit burn
sequence initiated just after 4.6-RELEASE
- fix up ports for the new world order

Add GNU sh-utils 2.0, enhanced versions of yes, true, pwd, and so forth (all
with a "g" prepended to their names). With the approval of the submitter,
I've disabled the suid bit on gsu by default, with a note to users that they
should review the philosophy behind GNU su:
