Glenn, thank you, very much.

An easier way to build the utilities is to unpack INIT, then ast-open,
then ast-cmdtst and build this in one step.

IMO it would be welcome if grep, xargs are in libcmd but disabled by
default at build time until SHOPT_CMDNEWCMD is set to 1 via CCFLAGS.
This would reduce the trouble of building a ksh binary which has the
built ins enabled at start up for non interactive scripts. I still
haven't figured how to do that with nmake.

Testing is underway.

WARNING to other testers: Do use the ksh binary from the same tree as
libcmdtst.so for testing. I have hunted ghost bugs for a few hours
until I found that I ran libcmdtst.so with an old ksh93t- binary.
