On my mandrake box it's /usr/bin/dir, which is from coreutils-4.5.7-1mdk,
which I found just after pressing "send".
I remember discovering this before, and wondering why it was a binary and not
just an alias for "ls", but deciding it wasn't worth persuing.
Which begs the question: what's the equivalent package for OS-X?
