[BusyBox] About e2p dir

Hi Mike,
I'm working  on a patch to reduce the size of lsattr and chattr,
and I'm wondering why in the e2p dir there are some unused
files?
Could they be deleted?
Are they there for future use?
Maybe a notice could be appended to the README file in the e2p dir?

I' masking this because a spent a half night trying to optimize
them obviously with no result and I discovered that they were 
not used only by inspecting the Makefile :-(

BTW: would you like to test my patch when it is done as i
have no idea what lsattr and chattr are for and how they work.

Size reduction so far is:
root at localhost:/dev/pts/5:/root/Desktop/busybox_orig# size busybox
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 270439    8632  167204  446275   6cf43 busybox
root at localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox# size busybox
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 270361    8628  167204  446193   6cef1 busybox

Ciao,
Tito
