[BusyBox] Real modprobe support for BusyBox

Hi Robert,

At least I'm interested in this code.
In my rare spare time between my moneyearning projects I'm just
thinking about a -- micro -- depmod for busybox.
depmod/modprobe are the last peaces of the puzzle to create a busybox 
based distribution.
(anybody says yes to 'dpkg' must say yes to depmod/modprobe too ;-)

Cheers
