Mind! Not me, this is great, thanks!!! If you were close by (and female
and beautiful) I'd give you a kiss! Feel free to keep poking at the TODO
list. I'm more than open to additions.
Another area I've been thinking about is something along the lines of
http://lrp.plain.co.nz/linux-router/router-source/POSIXness/POSIXness
but I'm not sure how best to implement it and it depends on a _full_
version of sed. The micro-sed I wrote for busybox just does rexexp
search and replace.

cool. I'll look forward to seeing what you can do!

The main reason is that I want the installation to be such
that I can just drop in /bin/ash and then chroot into it.
If the symlinks all point to $somepath/bin/busybox then
running inside a chroot won't work.
