Description: 
This patch adds to mdev.c the ability to create symlinks and
subdirectories:
examples:

The patch corrects also the bug 0001299

I wish that this patch be deeply tested before a possible integration

you removed support for program execution which is not desirable

i'll post a diff patch to the busybox mailing list we've been using in
