mike told me it's a followup, for warning suppression. so leave
for 1.1.

this is really a new feature, not a bugfix. i'd leave it for 1.1.
> 11010 remove uclibc #ifdef from inetd.
also a new feature -- exposes the leave-in-foreground
option for non-uclibc builds. leave for 1.1.
> 11011 whitespace changes to makefile?
> 11012 bbconfigopts.h dependency?
this is a followon fixup to 11006. leave for 1.1.

the bug title and log message were misleading. it's really a
bugfix, to make bb telnet act the same as other telnets when
stdin isn't a terminal. it happens to be useful for simple
scripts. as you say, nc may be better, but telnet has been
useful for this for longer than nc has existed.
> 10887 The zip rewrite is a new feature.
unfortunately, i agree. unfortunately, because bb unzip isn't complete
enough to be very useful in its 1.00 form.
