Aaaah, but in a multi-call binary, _all_ utilities (as configured
at compile-time) are loaded (by execve, not fork) into RAM whenever
_any_ of those utilities will be run.

Everybody who uses BusyBox is a customer. People who have
no credible alternative get extra consideration. A quick
look at the BusyBox home page leads me to believe there are
quite a few such customers. :-) Unfortunately, I can't
require them to speak up on the mailing list.
Erik, do you have a list of intended and/or "supported" targets
(or target categories)? I seem to remember reading such a list,
but I can't find it now.
BTW, you can add
<a href="http://recycle.lbl.gov/~ldoolitt/bse/">Linux on nanoEngine</a>
to your users list if you want.
