[BusyBox] tinylogin

I am trying to compile tinylogin-1.02.  I am using a configuration 
management system and I want the build directory to be different to the 
source directory.  Busybox supports this but it seems tinylogin doesn't. 
 Is this correct or am I missing something ??

There are commands in the Makefile such as ./tinylogin.sh and 
./tinylogin.mkll.  I am trying to fix this by using $(TINYLOGIN_SRC_DIR) 
instead of ".".  I am still getting errors but will persist for now. 
 Has anyone done this before ???

Since tinylogin works in a similar fasion to busybox, it would make a 
lot more sense to me to incorporate tinylogin into busybox.  Just 
comment out the applets who don't want.  They could be a heirarchy of 
enables.  eg. #define TINYLOGIN_ENABLE would then allow other TINYLOGIN 
settings.  //#define TINYLOGIN_ENABLE would disable ALL tinylogin applets.

I can see busybox being almost an entire distribution if desired :)

Another alternative is have the directory structure of busybox be 
modular to the extent that tinylogin (and other future modules) could be 
dropped into the busybox root directory and every thing gets compiled 
(according to config settings).

Any thoughts or suggestions ?

Cheers,
Brendan Simon.
