Is hush getting close to your needs?  What ash features
are most urgently missing?  I hope it's not functions,
aliases, or case/esac, those get pretty complicated.

For the moment, just hack 
	APPLET(sh, shell_main, _BB_DIR_BIN)
to
	APPLET(lash, shell_main, _BB_DIR_BIN)
in applets.h.  I'm not sure it's worth adding this
as a configuration option.
