Arg! Why why why do people do this nonsense? There is *NO* reason to use cat here. "basename <filename" does precisely the same thing and does not require spawning some /bin/cat program to do it. And as already pointed out, you don't need to modify basename at all to achieve this today, you can just do "xargs -l basename <filename".
