           Summary: -r option lacks in BB 1.17 losetup, needed by standard

I came across this while testing patches of Knoppix 6.4.4 init, which is based
entirely on Busybox. I run 1.17, 64-bits from Debian package.

Standard losetup seems to require -r option for read-only mounting, which is
necessary for (e.g.) cloop devices. But BB 1.17 does not recognize this option,
making scripts incompatible.  It is no big deal, but might create problems some
times.
