ubase. shred(1) is useless on must setups, but I have my
filesystem set up to make shred useful. I use shred, so I
though it could be nice to have in ubase. But since it is
not generally a useful tool perhaps it should not be in
ubase. But how about adding a complementary repository to
ubase and sbase with the standard tools that are not too
commonly used, such as shred, factor, rev and shuf, that
way we could keep sbase and ubase minimal but still provide
all standard tools.

It's fun and educational even if it is not going to be merged.
And as long as it does not take more than a few hours, its
not too much time wasted.
