I'd argue that any standard utilities should comply with POSIX - that
is the approach I took with all the other klibc support utilities.

The reason I took this approach is that I've used busybox.  It's
extremely annoying and frustrating when you come across commands
which refuse to behave correctly for one reason or another.

I suggest that if we're going to be implementing less functionality
than POSIX, that the differences are documented somewhere so it can
be fixed later if required.
