I see the following:

1. Standard utilities from coreutils:

[
basename
cat
cp
cut
date
dirname
echo
expr
head
ls
mkdir
mv
paste
pwd
rm
rmdir
sleep
sort
tac
tail
tee
tr
uniq
wc

Of those, [, echo and pwd exist both as bash built-ins and external
utilities.

2. Standard utilities not part of coreutils:

awk
bc
diff
file
find
grep
sed
which

[Note that "file" needs to locate /etc/magic.]

3. Additional utilities:

avcimport		v.in.e00
cs2cs			m.proj, r.tileset, v.in.garmin, v.in.gpsbabel
curl			r.in.wms
e00conv			v.in.e00
fc-list			mkftcap
gardump			v.in.garmin
gdal_translate		d.out.file, r.out.gdal.sh
gdalinfo		i.in.spotvgt, r.out.gdal.sh
gdalwarp		r.in.aster, r.in.wms
gnuplot			i.spectral
gpsbabel		v.in.gpsbabel
gpstrans		v.in.garmin
ldd			v.in.wfs
lynx			v.in.wfs
man			g.manual
ogrinfo			v.in.wfs
perl			d.monsize
pngtopnm		d.out.gpsdrive
pnmtojpeg		d.out.gpsdrive
sqlite3			v.db.join
sync			d.out.gpsdrive
unzip			r.in.srtm
wget			r.in.wms
wms.download		r.in.wms
wms.request		r.in.wms
xgraph			d.polar
xml2			r.in.wms

BTW, the use of "ldd" by v.in.wfs is entirely bogus:

	# xerces support compiled in?
	OGRINFO=`which ogrinfo`
	if [ -z "`ldd $OGRINFO | grep xerces`" ] ; then
	  g.message -e "OGR needs to be compiled with xerces-c support"
	  exit 1
	fi

This needs to be changed to something which will work on other
platforms. Does "gdalinfo --formats" suffice?

Also, we don't really need all three of lynx, wget and curl; any one
of those would suffice.
