Summary:                    Patch for "util-linux/mdev.c": make it able to
create symlinks and subdirectories
Description: 
This patch adds to mdev.c the ability to create symlinks and
subdirectories:
examples:
stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2

pcmC[0-9]D[0-9]c 0:0 0666 >> /dev/snd/ 0755

modified files:
util-linux/mdev.c
util-linux/Config.in
docs/mdev.txt

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
Blackfin/uClinux-dist

This update to the patch (against busybox_1_7_stable) allows simple
substitution for the device name, to allow mdev to create for example
/dev/mtdblock/0 from mtdblock0. The rule used is:
   mtdblock([0-9]) 0:0 0600 >> /dev/mtdblock/ 0755

I have found that a useful addition to this patch.
