My own two cents, if I may.

if it is to bring 'less' to busybox, which I would enjoy,
bring it with its whole UI, else, 'more' already does the job quite 
acceptably..

Hi,
I just looked it at and it seems to me that there is some work to
do to optimize size  (using libbb funcs etc).
I'm also wondering if we need all this command line flags and
keystroke sequences.
 I admit i'm not a less expert, but the few times I use it i don't
need more then  arrows, PageUp, PageDown and Quit.
Wouldn't it be easier to do a fully new version with just this few
commands, something like an enhanced more command?

Just my 2 eurocents :-).

If it gets merged I'will help in optimization.

BTW: it seems to me that unlike the real one it doesn't read from stdin:
 dmesg  | ./busybox less
Missing filename ("less -?" for help)

Ciao,
Tito
