Is there any possible (easy) way of transforming a bash loadable into a bash 
builtin?

The reason I am asking this is because loadables like `asort' and `stat' kick 
some major a$, but I am unable to use them on some platforms. For example, I 
have a tiny router-firewall distro which is based entirely on static binaries, 
so I can't have the loadables there. Another use case is cygwin, which I use a 
lot, and there is no possibility of loadables there either.

(BTW, the naming of the `stat' loadable is unfortunate IMO, as it does things 
quite differently than its long-established namesake. It should be named astat, 
maybe, similarly to asort).

Can someone think of a way of doing this?
