Well, I dont think we want to get rid of that on Linux/OSX where GNU coreutils
is a pretty natural thing to be available there. For Windows in the end, a lot
of that should possible to be covered by MSBuild:

But all of that is still quite a way off and not too urgent. But we should be
moving roughly in the right direction at least IMHO (which is "build preferable
with what can be expected to be there on the target platform and which is
unlikely to change/go away").

Best,
