   While not (currently) a user of Gnu, I have to wonder why the
   programming utilities echo and xargs aren't in the same package as
   tee and test?

`echo' is a GNU bash builtin, but to my knowledge, does not exist yet
as a separate program.  For `xargs', it is provided withing GNU find
distribution.

If I remember correctly, xargs was added to the GNU find distribution
when options where added to find for working more securely with xargs.
