Most are similar to utilities in /usr/bin, but there are compatibility
problems.  The project team expects to work out these compatibility
issues (by changing the AT&T built-in code and/or changing current
Solaris utilities) over time.  The project team will submit fast tracks
to add compatible ksh93 built-ins as these issues are resolved.
