[BusyBox] lsof applet? + question re uclibc

You know lsof is a monster.  Depending on what you want to
do, you might also want to look at socklist, which is a
perl script that rummages around in /proc cross-connecting
sockets with processes.  I know perl is rather heavy, but
it wouldn't be too hard to recreate in C.  I am the original
author of socklist, it's now included in the procinfo package.
Procinfo itself isn't hard to make run on an embedded system.

This is both part of, and explained by, glibc's bloat.
i18n, PAM, ...
