The plan is to have them _prefixed_ in your path, and un-prefixed in a
specified directory so you can frob the path to run scripts that
expect p9 utilities.
I am not sure what this package specifically brings, but many p9
utilities have *very* interesting ideas.
I have tested p9 before in VMs and I'll be installing this package
(when it comes through) to poke around and see.
I don't think 9base provides a great deal - it's just the Plan 9 version
of the basic Unix shell utilities. If there's interesting and useful
ideas in them it'd make more sense to work on porting the functionality
to coreutils.
