Setup the environment in clib2.

19-08-2017 - Version 54.8
no need to try to open /dev/tty.
changed the sourcecode, so it should now also be possible to compile for classic AmigaOS (using clib2).

18-08-2017 - Version 54.7
replace /dev/null with /nil.
recognice Amiga style absolute paths.

15-08-2017 - Version 54.6
ls is now also respecting amiga style absolute paths.
kill should now be able to kill a process.

14-08-2017 - Version 54.4
Error() has now been fixed, will no longer crash, when you for example access a nonexisting file.
Thanks to Hubert Maier (Raziel) for reporting this problem.

13-08-2017 - Version 54.3
cp did not copy permissions correctly. Hack it to set executable, just in case. This should be fixed later.

08-08-2017 - Version 54.2
We do not have proc filesystem. Replace with AmigaOS4 code.
Handle paths correctly.
Cleanup Configure.ac and Makefile.am, to disable the creation of documents (generated from the help files).

Coreutils 8.29 source used for the port
The sourcecode for Sort and Split have been replaced with the old 5.2.1-9 code.
To compile you need libwide found on http://os4depot.net and the current clib2 code from http://github.com/adtools/clib2
