Summary:                    libbb, export it and callable from c program.
Description: 
Many unix system does not have CopyFile call.
But busybox has every features of this call.
move file, move files, copy files to directory.. and so on...

IMHO, if libbb is made as shared library,
many applications in embedded systems want to use libbb's this features.

for example,
bb_copyfile(const char *src, const char *dest, int mode);
bb_copyfiles(const char *src, const char *destdir, int mode);

and so on..

As result, /lib/libbb.so and /usr/bin/busybox, these two files will
supports all busybox's features .....
