This is an attempt to make the utilities specified in
POSIX 1002.3 available, assuming /$objtype/ape/bin

bin directories.

General Bugs:

LC_CTYPE, and LC_MESSAGES are ignored.

The use of -- as an argument to stop option processing
is generally not done.

The many 'not implemented' functions will be implemented
as scripts using them show up.
