Eek, you reeealy don't wanna use "allyesconfig" on a current BusyBox.  It 
actually does switch everything on, including debug code and selinux and 
various stuff that most people really aren't going to want...

Yeah, must do changelog.  Must post this week's BusyBox Weekly News.  Must do 
bbsh.  Must finish mke2fs rewrite.  Must finish mercurial repository 
conversion script (a version that understands renames and doesn't break on 
the udhcp symlink mess in the revision history).  Must dredge up passwd 
revamp and sed nul fix.  Must finish tweaking coding style document to match 
current reality.  Must finish scripts/individual (and making it able to use 
libbb.so and flat files and such).  Must finish updating menuconfig to match 
current kernels, add the make miniconfig code, clean up the configuration 
menus (the first two things new users see in the first menu are a nitpick 
option that doesn't currently _work_ right because hidden options are "off" 
rather than "default"), and show terse/show verbose usage as two separate 
options rather than a selector)...

I haven't even looked at my todo list yet.  (Must update TODO list!  Must 
tackle patch backlog directory.  Must read bugs.busybox.net...)
