As the one that started all this.... mharo was bored and I mentioned it
would be great if cp,rm,mv,ln had a "-v" verbose flag added.  I compile the
GNU fileutils on every machine I use because I use "-v" all the time.  I
*LIKE* feedback as a command is doing its job.  I am tired of having to
build and install GNU fileutils for just one little piece of
functionality.

When proposing these changes to mharo, I looked at typical /bin utils and
added mkdir and rmdir to the list.  I do not have convictions over
mkdir,rmdir; BUT I am adimate about cp,rm,mv,ln.

Thus you can blame me for this.
