For ash shell: functional "type -p"

Thu May 3 10:44:25 UTC 2007

I have been missing, inside ash, a short path response
from the type builtin:

$ type -p tail
/usr/bin/tail

The attached difference file ackomplishes this in a
somewhat cheating manner, since it only detect whether
the first argument of "type" begins with a dash, and then
verbosity is switched off.

I might be prejudiced, but the ASH_CMDCMD conditionals
inside typecmd() and describe_command() seem utterly
pointless, so they are removed in order to implement
this "short type" functionality.
