NetBSD bradwkstn 3.1 NetBSD 3.1 (GENERIC.PROF) #7: Thu Dec 14 21:54:41 PST 2006  root@bradwkstn:/usr/src/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.PROF i386
>Description:
the opengroups' site* as well as the OpenBSD utility talk about the -I option which allows the following:

   ls *.x | sed 's/.x//' | xargs -I {} echo {}.x {}.y

*http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xargs.html

I checked briefly on cvsweb at openbsd.org and they're source and manpage should be a good source for an upgrade.
