That's certainly an option, though it would probably have to be made a port,
with a USE_REINPLACE knob to bring in the dependency, otherwise you still
have the situation where inplace(1) would be available on some systems, but
not others.

So, we could start it out as a port, and then after a while, merge it into
the base system (a la bzip, tcsh etc.) and go from there.
