I concur with Rob on this point, and I would ask the following: "what
benefit is there to adding this to Busybox as opposed to using them
verbatim?"  Have you realized a large size savings by building this into
Busybox, rather than standalone?

Being small and beautiful is a fantastic thing.  This makes it an excellent
candidate for Buildroot for example.  However, not everything has to be in
Busybox.  It is meant to provide as many core tools, as small as possible.
