Another solution that may work, is to provide a platform file that redefines
the tools/commands that are different. For example:

function cp() {
    local opts="$@"
    # remove -v from options, if it is there
    # . . . . .
    "$(which cp)" "$opts"
}

Do something similar for `mv`, `mkdir`, `grep`, etc.
It may be an ugly solution, but... what can be a better alternative?

Cheers,
