And you made me curious: which commands are you running through 'runcached'?

Adding new scripts to the moreutils collection is usually done by forwarding to the upstream maintainer (Joey Hess <jo...@joey.name>) and asking for script inclusion. But, as Joey keeps more than just one eye on cross platform compatibility, I expect non-POSIX implementations to be rejected. Do you keep your non-POSIX statement? Did you think about the license you want to stick it to? GPL2+?
