Look over that list I posted again.  The only thing such an effort would 
do is let you hide the BSD userland tools behind GNU ones by putting the 
latter first in the PATH.  Every other item would remain as a functional 
difference between the two systems.

If that's all you need, there are easier paths to the same destination.
