[BusyBox] bug#1044: (simple?) enhancements to ls

[David Douthitt]

Package: busybox
Version: 0.47pre
Severity: wishlist

ls -b or ls -q would be nice; probably ls -b.  Both print odd 
characters in names out so they can be seen; -b uses octal, -q uses 
"?" .  One or both would be nice for rescue disks.

Perhaps an easy change (?) would be adding ll, lsf, lsx, and lsr to 
the "list" of recognized link names, and would work this way:

ll = ls -l
lsf = ls -F
lsr = ls -R
lsx = ls -x

I understand some (many) recognize l as a replacement for ls -m, but 
busybox doesn't support -m (list files separated by commas with 
appropriate spaces) and probably doesn't need to.
