[PATCH] Use POSIX standardized options for head(1) and tail(1)

[Damien Miller]

Hi,

Thanks, but I don't think we're going to merge this one because I'm
somewhat worried that some systems we currently build on do not support
the -n syntax. Conversely, AFAIK everything* supports -number.

-d

* except some GNU tools if you don't set a magic env var, which we do
