This might seem obvious, but both The MKS Toolkit and Polytron's
PolyShell are fairly complete work-alikes of UNIX shells including
most of the common utilities.  Check out any "Programmer's _______"
type catalog for prices.  There are also some C source collections
often called UTOOLS, UXTOOLS, etc. on BBS'es containing source for
about 20 of the most common UNIX utilities.
