[vee] initial veels utility added

--

Since I am on a bet to add fundamental vee utilities, I have cre-
ated the first real basic util for vee - introducing, "veels", it
is meant to be a general purpose listing utility for vee

It's  intended  to  replace  the need for "ls" in most situations
dealing with .raw files, and in situations that it doesn't, there
are fall back options to use the system ls ([-l][-L ls-opts]).o

I hope to add additional basic utilities in the near terms.

Enjoy!

Basic usage:  %veels [-dr [-a] [[-l][-L "ls opts"]]]

GetOpts processing (first cut):

while getopts 'ad:hlL:r' option; do
    case "$option" in
    a) SHOWALL=1 # show filename, date, and title of post
       ;;
    d) if [ -d "${OPTARG}" ]; then # choose another directory to check for .raw files
         VEEDIR="${OPTARG}"
       else
         die_error "${OPTARG} is not a directory!"
       fi
       ;;
    l) USELS=1 #use ls with default opts
       ;;
    L) USELS=1 #use ls with custom opts
       LSOPTS="${OPTARG}"
       ;;
    r) SORT=$SORT_OLD_FIRST  # list in reverse post order
       ;;
    h) usage # some help page
       die_cleanly
       ;;
    esac
done
