The Busybox test.c doesnt know how to test for files and file types
and for some scripts (init scripts for example) you need to check if a file
exists or not, if its a link, hard link etc.

One could make the "file testing part" optional.

Hmmm.... I just checked the Busybox test.c version and noticed that Busybox
does in fact support for file checking... wonder why i missed that.

Maybe i could just add all the missing features from this version (and rewrite
them to be really small of course) to the Busybox test, wonder if there is
really anything thats missing now when I'm reading the source code for test.c

Ok, now i know why i tought that Busybox test.c didnt support file testing
i didnt put my variables into a "", whoops

Sorry, just ignore that patch, next time ill read the source then trust my
scripts.
