The addition of host-busybox should be split in a separate patch from
the patch changing to use host-busybox instead of host-mkpasswd.
Also, the commit log should explain the rationale for switching from
host-mkpasswd to host-busybox. I know it has been discussed on the
list, but a commit log is much easier to find in the Git history than
an e-mail discussion on the mailing list. So a summary of the
motivations for the change would be nice.
Thanks!
Thomas
