I remember seeing 'xargs' on the old Atari MiNT UNIX-alike system eons ago.
(In fact, that's where I learned to use it ;) Since we now require an ANSI C
compiler, I do not see the requirement of 'xargs' for testing as a problem.
If it ends up being a problem after all, we can provide a replacement
script.
