Use uutils-coreutils instead of aardvark_shell_utils #146

uutils-coreutils is a new alternative to GNU's coreutils. It is better maintained than aardvark_shell_utils. Similar to aardvark_shell_utils, uutils-coreutils does not conflict with md5sha1sum.

I think we should be trying for GNU coreutils first, then investigate alternatives:

it's the defacto standard
uutils is v0.0.12 - it has not yet had a stable release
it reduces the difference between our mac and linux environments, likely decreasing the amount of portability issues we have in the long term
