[BusyBox] builtin echo for ash

[Jason Schoon]

Paul,

What currently happens when you have ash and echo both turned on, and
then go turn on CONFIG_ASH_BUILTIN_ECHO?  Does the standalone echo
still get built as well?

(I know I'm a bit lazy and should just build it, but I don't have a
development machine to muck with where I'm at)

I'm just curious if the two should be mutually exclusive or not. 
Would there be a need ever for the standalone if you have it built
into the shell?
