By the way, if you were making the argument "this should work under busybox's
own shells", I'd be all for it. You could even make a standards argment
around SUSv4.
But making the argument "this should comply with Ubuntu's design mistakes",
such as replacing the gcc binary with a perl wrapper (yes really, check Ubuntu
8.10)... That's not a compelling argument for an embedded toolset.
