And GNU coreutils tests the mix of namespace-conflicting,
non-conflicting, and 'g'-prefixed aspects of /usr/gnu. Comments
desired.

1. Summary
This case adds the GNU/FSF implementations of numerous standard
commands, collectively known as "coreutils", under the integration
guidelines for /usr/gnu [1].
2. Discussion
GNU coreutils--the combination of GNU fileutils, GNU shellutils, and
GUN textutils--provide implementations of many common Unix utilities
as well as various enhancements and additional related utilities.
Providing these commands in a supported fashion on OpenSolaris is
expected to conserve developer time, in that GNU extensions in
common use on other platforms will be available on OpenSolaris,
albeit on an alternate path.
The coreutils package includes manual pages for the included
commands; these will be installed in /usr/gnu/share/man.
Conflicting commands and non-conflicting commands are separated out
in the interface table below. Because of its common use as an
alternative name for the GNU implementation of install(1M), ginstall
will be provided in /usr/bin in accordance with Section 2.4 of [1].
