Init Patch for review and evaluation

Hello all,

The following patch to init fills a need that myself and several of my
co-workers have.  The general idea is to have init kill those processes
that have been removed from the inittab file after it has received a
SIGHUP.  Currently, init will let them continue to run, but will not
respawn them if they die.

The changes were added as a selectable feature in the busybox config.
Hopefully the patch will help others as well.  

Please respond with any comments/concerns/suggestions to help clarify or
improve the implementation.
