>Description:
	Make sh(1) builtin "command" POSIX 2001 complant by adding -v and -V
	args support.

	Patch is avaible here:
	http://people.freebsd.org/~novel/patches/freebsd/src.bin.sh.command_vV.diff
	
	Notes:
		I made two separate functions for -v (prints what will be executed)
	and -V (prints description). It's possible to make one function for that,
	which would read verbosity level from second arg. But I'm not sure it would
	be better/faster/easier/etc.
