cal skips first week on months with first day on sat
    Yeah. Honestly, I'm not sure right now. But, then again, my
    brain is currently fried in multiple ways, so, we'll check
    again in the morning.

cal gets months on some years wrong
    For instance, if you run `./cal 08 08`, the first day of the
    month is off by one day. It's weird, and I don't know why it
    happens.

TODOS
*****

wc needs multibyte support
    It's supposed to have a flag, -m, that counts characters, as
    opposed to -c which counts bytes (ASCII characters, if you
    will). We need to add in support for -m proper, using some
    form of multibyte.

cal needs the ability to show a whole year calendar
    This needs to be done eventually.

sh probably needs to be trashed and restarted
    When I started it, it was from a small online tutorial on the
    basics of how shells work. It was more a demonstration of
    things like forking and the execvp and waitpid functions. It
    wasn't actually intended to grow into a proper shell. As it
    stands this is just going to keep getting cobbled together
    until it collapses under its own weight. It's probably better
    to restart now, parse input using lex and yacc instead of
    doing it ourselves, and work from there on implementation
    of everything. We know the basics of how a shell does its
    thing (fork, execvp, waitpid), now to use that with newer
    knowledge of building language parsers with things like lex
    and yacc, getting command line arguments with getopts, and
    other things that will lead to a proper, fully-formed shell.

NOTES
*****

Some things may get added:

From the LSB:
    chfn, chsh, dmesg, egrep, fgrep, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod,
    groups, gunzip, gzip, hostname, install, killall, md5sum,
    mknod, mktemp, mount, passwd, pidof, sendmail, seq, shutdown, 
    su, sync, tar, umount, useradd, userdel, usermod

In general:
    a cobol compiler, a debugger, an assembler, look/spell, wall

And some need to get defined:
other
news/calendar - Both are referenced in the "Rationale" section of
    The Open Group Base Specification Issue 7 as utilities that
    weren't included. Both sound kinda interesting. I kinda want
    to included them. Unfortunately, I have no clue what they are
    or how they work. So, either I need to dig 'em up and find out,
    or I need to define them myself.
      *GOOD NEWS!* I found the heirloom utility set, which includes
      both of these applications! Yay!

notes on things not in POSIX or other standards:
    tac: it's basically cat but backwards
    rev: Reverses a file line-by-line

So, POSIX-conformant applications are supposed to define the
_POSIX_C_SOURCE macro with value 200809L to enable POSIX features
and the macro _XOPEN_SOURCE with value 700 if they're XSI-compliant.
For any XSI-compliant utilities, we really should define the
_XOPEN_SOURCE macros; for any non-XSI-compliant applications, we
should really define the _POSIX_C_SOURCE macro until such a time
when/if they become XSI-compliant.
