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

General Bugs:
The environment variables LANG, LC_ALL,

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.
