 Hi Gustavo,

 We discussed the sh stuff at the BR developer meeting and it would be nice if
we had:

- a config option in the system menu that lets the user select the shell: none,
busybox, dash, bash, zsh (default busybox);

- the config option selects the appropriate package;

- target-finalize creates the symlink;

- if sh is busybox, then it's up to the user to choose the appropriate
FEATURE_SH_IS_* option in busybox; we will still create the symlink to busybox
from buildroot.


 Will you take this up? Thanks!


 Regards,
 Arnout
