The raidtools patch still applies and compiles, its at
http://people.debian.org/~bug1/busybox/raidtools.bb.patch.bz2
Most of the binaries as provided in the raidtools2 package are provided
by the patch, mkraid, raidstart, raidstop, radi0run, and some of the
fancy hotadd stuff.
All up they compile to a 20kB busybox binary.

mkraid, raidstart, raidstop are 17kB
Creating the config is the hard part, i feel D-I really needs a
partition config that is seperate from the tools used to create the
partitions.
A frontend that allows users to specify how they want the partitions,
and then a backend that calls the apropriate tools to do the job.
Easier said than done though.
