thoughts on reorganizing BB menuconfig structure?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  as a followup to my earlier whine about the somewhat non-informative
"Debian Utilities" BB config menu entry, i'd still like to see some
shuffling around of the config entries to have them make more logical
sense.

  in some cases, a top-level entry is already perfect -- say "Module
Utilities."  no problem there.  but from there, things get sort of
erratic.

  the biggest problem, i think, is the arbitrary grouping of so many
entries under "Coreutils", "Linux System Utilities" and "Miscellaneous
Utilities."  some thoughts (some large, some small):

* drop "Debian Utilities" entirely and spread those entries elsewhere

* move "dmesg" to "Logging Utilities"?

* i don't consider "ar" to be an "Archival Utility".  i see it more as
a Development utility.  how many people are actually using "ar" for
archiving?

* how about an entire section devoted to "Shell Applets"?  by that,
i mean applets normally used, say, for shell programming:

  true, false, echo, expr, getopt, dirname, basename, length, env,
  printenv, printf, and lots more.

  that would cut down the size of "Coreutils" considerably.

* how about a section on "Servers"?  right now, it would be rather
short (telnetd, udhcpd) but who knows what else might show up there?

* several applets should be moved to "Process Utilities", such as
"nice", "watch", etc.  don't those qualify as "process" utilities?

  anyway, i can see lots of other adjustments but i'll just throw this
out for now.
