I left it with very little done, but I never lost interest in the idea. I just ran out of time. Work and all. I am more than happy to pick it back up or give my current base to the ASF for the effort. I need to install a mail script on my svn machine this weekend, but then I'll add your program to the repo if you would like me to.

Some of you remember Ryan's idea of collecting a toolchain of the good old standby shell commands written in apr, which he started here; https://rkbloom.dyndns.org/viewsvn/porttools/trunk/ I'm not sure where he left that (I pinged him) and am unsure if anyone else took up this challenge of replacing the old favorites. But if anyone knows, I'd appreciate a pointer. If there is none active, and Ryan has little interest, does anyone else share an interest in hacking some of these most-commonly-needed tools? My biggie of this week is fighting with overloaded solaris and hpux boxes with too many copies of gcc/cc, and needed to pin down which-is-which. Of course your typical, stock 'which' doesn't support -a. But I'd always wanted 'which' to do more, such as tell me where the heck some specific lib or include lives on an INCLUDE or LIB path list. So my solution is at http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/witch.c - and I'm considering different possible homes for it - either here at the ASF, or elsewhere if there really isn't much interest. Thoughts or interest? Bill
