It isn't totally ready yet, because there are compatibility issues, which I have to resolve. But looking at another BSDL tools, I've found out that OpenBSD has BSDL bc and dc utilities. I've thought of replacing them. I think in the bc/dc case, such a strict GNU compatibility isn't necessary as in the case of grep, so we may replace them in base system. If there's no objection to replacing them, I'll post a patch for review.
