welcome.

There is one issue i just stumbled across that was not present before
the move to kbuild:
docs/BusyBox.html isn't updated anymore, it seems (it was automagically
updated, iirc). While at it (there should pop-up an example for
run-parts in the .html), it _looks_ like Rob dropping APPLET_ODD_NAME
foobared the applet-names for "odd" applets that contain a dash: see
e.g. run-parts (as it should read correctly) in
http://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html


Also, busybox.net/screenshot.html is horribly out of date.
vda, please remember to update it if you release a new version :)

cheers,
