+<p>Somebody decided to do a <a href=https://wiki.freebsd.org/AdrianChadd/BsdBox>multicall binary for freebsd</a>.</p>

+<p>They based it on crunchgen, a tool that glues existing programs together
+into an archive and uses the name to execute the right one. It has no
+simplification or code sharing benefits whatsoever, it's basically an
+archiver that produces executables.</p>
