blockdev?  I have some doubts...
What do you do with fsck backends w/o fsck and w/o OS support?
mkswap works under Windows?
How did you link sln statically?

Since clear is available in ncurses, we shouldn't add another one,
even if it's a script.
cytune?  Hmm.
flock won't work w/o advisory locks.
ipcrm and ipcs are part of the cygwin package and I'd rather keep them
there.
logger is part of inetutils and I'd like to keep it there.

Does any of them actually work?
