RFC: Replacing bc/dc to BSDL versions

Hello,

as you might know, I'm working on a BSDL grep. It isn't totally ready 
yet, because there are compatibility issues, which I have to resolve. 
But looking at another BSDL tools, I've found out that OpenBSD has BSDL 
bc and dc utilities. I've thought of replacing them. I think in the 
bc/dc case, such a strict GNU compatibility isn't necessary as in the 
case of grep, so we may replace them in base system. If there's no 
objection to replacing them, I'll post a patch for review.

Cheers,
