           Summary: Busybox does not support "ls -Q" which is required by

Forwarding upstream from https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3957 .

VERSION:
1.10.3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
In Busybox, enter
  ls -Q

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
quoted list of files. 
GNU "ls -Q" encloses filenames in double quotes.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
  ls: invalid option -- Q
and the list of valid options

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

OTHER COMMENTS:
-Q is not a posix standard option, but is quite popular and useful.
Many debian pre/post inst/rm scripts use this for things in /etc/init.d.
