add unit tests for lib/*.c
-rewrite du.c not to use explicit recursion
+rewrite lib/ftw.c not to use explicit recursion, and then use nftw in
+ chown, chgrp, chmod, du
strip: add an option to specify the program used to strip binaries.
suggestion from Karl Berry
implement --target-directory=DIR for install (per texinfo documentation)
ls: add --format=FORMAT option that controls how each line is printed.
+
+cp --no-preserve=X should not attempt to preserve attribute X
+ reported by Andreas Schwab
+
+copy.c: Address the FIXME-maybe comment in copy_internal.
+And once that's done, add an exclusion so that `cp --link'
+no longer incurs the overhead of saving src. dev/ino and dest. filename
+in the hash table.
+
+Apply suggestion from Paul Jarc to use something along the
+lines of http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html to avoid
+kludges (as in tests/rm/fail-2eperm) when running tests as root.
+
+See if we can be consistent about where --verbose sends its output:
+ These all send --verbose output to stdout:
+ head, tail, rm, cp, mv, ln, chmod, chown, chgrp, install, ln
+ These send it to stderr:
+ shred mkdir split
+ readlink is different
+
+Write an autoconf test to work around build failure in HPUX's 64-bit mode.
+See notes in README -- and remove them once there's a work-around.
+
+Integrate use of sendfile, suggested here:
+ http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2003-03/msg00030.html
+I don't plan to do that, since a few tests demonstrate no significant benefit.
+
+Should printf '\0123' print "\n3"?
+ per report from TAKAI Kousuke on Mar 27
+ http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/index.html
+
+printf: consider adapting builtins/printf.def from bash
+
+df: add `--total' option, suggested here http://bugs.debian.org/186007
+
+seq: give better diagnostics for invalid formats:
+ e.g. no or too many % directives
+seq: consider allowing format string to contain no %-directives
+
+dd: consider adding an option to suppress `bytes/block read/written'
+output to stderr. Suggested here:
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=165045
+
+m4: rename all macros that start with AC_ to start with another prefix
+
+resolve RH report on cp -a forwarded by Tim Waugh
+
+Martin Michlmayr's patch to provide ls with `--sort directory' option
+
+Remove uses of PROTOTYPES
+
+tail: don't use xlseek; it *exits*.
+ Instead, maybe use a macro and return nonzero.
+
+add mktemp? Suggested by Nelson Beebe
+
+Now that AC_FUNC_LSTAT and AC_FUNC_STAT are in autoconf,
+remove m4/stat.m4 and m4/lstat.m4.
+
+df: alignment problem of `Used' heading with e.g., -mP
+
+tr: support nontrivial equivalence classes, e.g. [=e=] with LC_COLLATE=fr_FR
+
+lib/strftime.c: Since %N is the only format that we need but that
+ glibc's strftime doesn't support, consider using a wrapper that
+ would expand /%(-_)?\d*N/ to the desired string and then pass the
+ resulting string to glibc's strftime.
