Created an attachment (id=901)

patch to add multiple argument to builtin read of HUSH

The hush's builtin read does not accept more than one argument, I just did a
patch to enable this feature (attached here).

There are some limitations in this patch:
1) it ignores escape sequences
2) it does not use $IFS (I first use the global variable G.ifs but i did have
issues in blackfin architecture with the simple command "echo a | read a" and
similars that raised a NULL pointer error)

This patch also fixes a bug of builtin read that did not return >0 when stdin
was closed, for using read in commands of type "cat XXX | ( while read a b ; do
... ; done )"
