While upgrading coreutils this morning, I was really sad to find --default-names option disappear from coreutils. I have a bunch of scripts that rely on GNU coreutils so the aliases file is quite useless.

In my opinion, the best way to solve --default-names for coreutils is to provide a separate bin directory with symlinks to the original commands without the program-prefix. It won't break any builds by default, and people who need that option can add that directory to their PATH. Here's my try: [pull request #9818](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/9818). Hope you guys like it.
