The tools *will not* be installed with names like echo or mkdir. You always
have to call them with "shtool echo" etc. The actual shell scripts for
echo, etc of shtool will reside in /usr/share/shtool
You probably will not need this package unless you develop your own
software. These are not replacement tools for the generic shell
commands.
By the way, both Torsten Landschoff and I expressed interest in
packaging shtool in -devel. Since then we have gotten in touch, and he
has graciously accepted that I could be the maintainer. Expect an
upload soon.
