stand-alone, but static linked applets

[John Spencer]

i noticed that the busybox binary is quite big, and i think you have to 
actually use *a lot* of applets at the same time to accomodate its 
memory usage.
another advantage of separate binaries is that you can set suid root on 
only the few that actually need it.

in the busybox menuconfig, i only found an option to build libbb shared, 
which offers the possibility to make standalone programs.

is there such an option for static linking as well that i may have missed ?
