Well, the addition of -F is a new feature, and that seems to cover everything
exception the options.c bit at the end, which I don't understand...
I'm not saying we can't have any new features in 1.0.1, but I want to worry
about _which_ ones after -rc1.

Ah, posix compliance.
Yeah, that counts as 1.0.1 material.

If somebody could find the URL for it in the archives, I'd appreciate that.
(I'll root around for it eventually, but probably not before -rc1.)

It's hard to find out which later patches depend on this. But if make
allyesconfig breaks, I'll notice...

Fun.
At the moment, I think I have to do them all by hand because I don't know how
to move a changeset from one repository to another, but oh well. -rc1 will
probably be a big rollup patch that just lists the SVN changesets in the main
busybox archive...

Sounds good to me.

I could be talked into that, both are fairly trivial...
One question: shouldn't a -H or -L coming after a -P disable it? (Supposing
did an alias cp "cp -P" for example...)
