A) According to the man page, this is shorthand for -dpR, so it shouldn't be 
hard to change it to something the OSX version can handle.

B) busybox cp handles -a (in 1.00-pre10, anyway).

I extensively reworked busybox sed late last year, and it should be able to 
handle any sed script you throw at it now.

You have to get the 1.00-pre releases to get that, though.  0.60.4 is 
something like 2 years out of date at this point.
