I've found so far that -- fink-free -- I've only needed GNU install,
gawk, and sed, so long as I tell glibc's ./configure to ignore as and ld
versions.  ...but then, if you've gone with fink, and it gives you a
functional toolchain, then that truly is the simplest method of getting
there.  If you (some other reader) don't want to set up Fink or
DarwinPorts just for three executables, I have a copy available at
http://chickenandporn.com/r/macosx-0.32-3.4.1-2.3.3-tools.tar.bz2 (this
URL is pre-pending a garbage byte before the archive, so replace /r/
with /~allanc/ in the short-term)  ... this archive unpacks a
/opt/local/bin/{gawk,sed,install}, and this seems to be the first place
on my PATH but I don't recall putting it there.
