I guess Jason will have an opinion about that ;-)

So rather than the "$verbose" variable that I proposed before, maybe it
could be viable to have the basic functionality being implemented in
POSIX (+a few tools like bash, tree and gnupg) and to have additional
"convenience options" being defined separately and overloadable by the
plattform scripts:

| rm_opts="-v"
| mkdir_opts="-v"
| mv_opts="-v"
| cp_opts="-v"
| grep_opts="--color=auto"

And then call 

| cp $cp_opts foo bar


The next thing I will be doing however is playing a bit with "alias" in
the openbsd.sh to force the usage of tree[1] instead of tree[2],
hopefully unbreaking "make test". But while this is surely possible for
"tree", I am a bit reluctant to pull the whole GNU coreutils (>100 files
@bin!) into the requirements of a BSD port, when the added value is main
ly output cosmetics.

Still, as long as the difference is really only just cosmetics (i.e. it
will also work without the options), I am happy enough.
