This is a great feature for people who (for some reason or another)
want to use a seriously crippled system kernel, but still use the
busybox code (or have to use it :-( ). If fixing this crippled kernel
is not an option (for whatever reasons), the sensible way to is to put
this into the C-library (or whatever replacment is used instead),
because then, it would immediatly benefit *each* possible program and
not only half-assedly the three Mr Jackman hacked upon for some
reason.
