Good point.

I assume that the choice between all-in-one and separate apps is to be
done at the compile time. Doing otherwise would be very bad.

You mean that every app is linked against libbusybox and takes whatever it
needs? Good idea, but what should we do with apps implemented in the same
file, such as kill/killall? I tend to think that they should become
separate apps too by adding their "real stuff" to libbusybox. kill.c and
killall.c will be just stubs.
