You can preserve binary compatibility without doing a full merge.
Move the old one to libsuncmd.so.1 and then add filter entries to
the mapfile for the ksh libcmd.so.1 to redirect users there.
If nothing else it's easier for others to build their own ksh
binaries and retain this compatibility, since they won't need to
copy in the Sun libcmd sources.
