This is important for two reasons:
o Other software that relies on vendor-supplied software's behavior won't break
o Vendor patches would otherwise overwrite the GNU util, breaking (in
this case) Amanda
I like to put GNU reimplementations in /usr/local/bin/gnu or such -- a
directory that's *not* in my search path -- so that I don't
inadvertantly rely on their behavior eg. when writing scripts, and so
that badly-written scripts that don't invoke things by pathname aren't
confused by getting what they don't expect.
