I propose a new project: lessutils. You post about some program that you use for some simple task that's not among the "standard UNIX utils". (ed, sed, AWK, lex, etc.) Then we show you how to do the same task with only the standard utils. (i.e. no install needed) -- inevitably someone shows us how to do it in AWK and makes all feel stupid. :) If we are successful, you get to eliminate one more dependency from your system, not to mention reducing attack surface.
