this has been asked in the past (i think at the time when people complained 
mount lost all of its long options in newer versions of busyboxes versus 
older ones), and the result was:
- there is no toplevel 'enable long options'
- maybe there should be

i can see the advantage of both personally ... most things i dont want long 
options, but i would like them with mount (since i have a habit of typing 
`mount --bind` instead of `mount -o bind`), but i've never used a long option 
with tar heh

`./busybox eject && ./busybox eject -t` worked on my amd64
