[BusyBox] netkit-tiny and busybox

As a conversion measure, I would suggest the following:

In busybox, cease development of netkit-tiny tools (except perhaps 
for bugfixes) and create a new variable:

#define INCLUDE_NETWORK_TOOLS

The use would be thus:

....standard defines (ALL tools)
....INCLUDE_NETWORK_TOOLS define

#ifdef INCLUDE_NETWORK_TOOLS
....compile requested net tools
#endif

You could put in a warning if some of the network tools are requested 
and INCLUDE_NETWORK_TOOLS is undefined.  Thoughts?
