I'm currently testing a buildworld prior to importing NetBSD's stat(1)
into the tree. Once that's done, if you have suggestions for
improvements I'm sure that they would be interested. I'll be happy to
work with you on adding useful bits to it in our tree as well. You can
see what I'm importing at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/basesrc/usr.bin/stat/

My reasons for choosing to import this version are the obvious benefits
of working closely with the NetBSD folks, as well as the fact that it
has a large number of features, compiles cleanly on our system (even
with WARNS=2), etc.
