All the C programs included in STUMP can probably be replaced with shell or Perl scripts, which will eliminate the dependency on a compiler (and compiled binaries) and will be safer (see other bug reports). Below are some ideas for solutions, though we will need to check if they can be implemented portably.

Corresponding source code
I've written drop-in replacements for antivirus and isbinary in Perl. These behave like the originals and anything that currently uses them should continue to work as before. I have deleted checkquot and cuthead as suggested.
This seems to satisfy the original requirements, but as Owen says, we should probably add proper support for other character sets.
