Per the busybox FAQ:

$ make bloatcheck
function                                             old     new   delta
ubi_tools_main                                      1087    1130     +43
.rodata                                           149418  149413      -5

The patch converting the existing sscanf to xstrtou was a net increase of 38
bytes. I don't know if Mike's goal though was that he thought it would be
smaller, or he just wanted it to match other busybox code conventions.

I don't really care either way, I'd just like to get these features
included so I don't have to maintain them separately and they're available
to anybody else that might find them useful.
