Summary:                    [patch] add the “ipkg” applet (package management)
Description: 
This diff adds a version of the “ipkg” applet which is being
used as a package manager, similar to Debian’s “dpkg”, in a
few embedded appliances and distributions.

This version has been modified to not offer to diff if the
diff applet isn't selected (external diff programmes, such
as GNU diff or 4.4BSD diff, aren't considered).

424897 byte source is 2.5 larger that our current biggest applet, ash.c.
Sorry.

Oops. make that 1.5 times larger. But still far too big. Just build it
standalone.

I don't think "too big" is an issue since the user still has to
select it manually.
