[BusyBox] the new config... how sweet it is!

Erik,

Just a love letter to say, your new Linux Kernel configuration
-inspired scheme is perfectly wonderful!


A comment in Rules.mak says its called Rules.make, as in the
Linux kernel's named Rules.make.  I suppose renaming it now is
too painful (oh, for BK :-)).

I don't know whether its possible to actually re-configure
Rules.make itself from "menuconfig", e.g. specify DOSTATIC, DOLFS,
CROSS, ....   Maybe this first time punt, and put in a dummy option
which is a help menu item that says "edit Rules.make for these options".

Also the comment:

    # To compile vs uClibc, just use the compiler wrapper built by uClibc...
    # Everything should compile and work as expected these days...
    #CC:=/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/usr/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc

Could be moved above:

    # If you are running a cross compiler, you may want to set CROSS
    # to something more interesting, like "arm-linux-".
    CROSS:=

And CROSS could be:

    #CROSS:=/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/usr/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc

At least that worked for me for mipsel, namely,

    CROSS:=/usr/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/bin/mipsel-uclibc-
