I'm actually in favor of adding GNULY_CORRECT too, since you 
occasionally run into self extracting shellscripts and the like that 
assume GNU behavior (usually when installing Linux apps that come as a 
giant bash sharchive).  I don't think I've ever run into this specific 
problem, but there is a definate possability and getting those shell 
scripts to work is hard enough without having some way to override the 
correct (but incompatable) behaviour.
