if you want the feature-laden gnu-style version of basic utilities, instead
of the simpler unix-style one that MacOSX (and most all BSDs, OpenSolaris,
etc) come with, it's typically simple to download and install the gnu-style
one; on MacOSX, the simplest way is probably via
http://coreutils.darwinports.com/ .
