I think this proposal is a much better idea than splitting the
source across several repositories.  I'd like to make the follow
suggestions:

 1) There should be two output options -- one which generates two
    binaries (one suid and the other not) for the paranoid (at the
    price of duplicated common code), and another which drops
    permissions for non-suid processes.

 2) One Config.h file in the root directory which specifies all
    the applets, rather than splitting them across directories.

 3) The functions of utility.c should be split into separate files
    in a libbusybox subdirectory to get rid of the #ifdef X || Y
    nastiness that is currently there (and often broken).

 4) While we are at it, reworking the documentation wouldn't be a
    bad idea either.
