Will this stuff eventually be moving to /usr/bin?

It doesn't seem to need to be in /usr/gnu, as it's all g-prefixed
already, and having those functions work without path trouble would be
nice.

That's odd, and doesn't seem to follow PSARC 2007/047.  Why would the
/usr/gnu/bin links have g-prefixes as well?
