Erik was ok with having an external project bundled with busybox.  The new 
maintainer (me) feels that BusyBox should be standalone, and that we 
shouldn't put something in BusyBox that we can't freely change and improve.  
(The code's all GPL so projects are free to lift code from each other, but 
from a maintenance standpoint busybox is released as a unit, and the busybox 
version number is the version of each component in it.)

I missed your other proposed features, care to post them here?  (I sometimes 
need people to repeat things. :)  Patches aren't always accepted, depends on 
what it is.  Post the idea or patch here and we'll review it.
