[BusyBox] Idea for a new feature

Hello

At my box I do not use busybox statically linked - its not
the only application that runs there. So I have a lot of shared
libraries - like libncurses, libresolv, libz, libutil, libcrypto,
libnss*, etc...

What about setting in busybox config file that will tell busybox
to dynamically link with those libraries instead of using internal
functions, thus reducing busybox executable size ? I think
compression applets like gzip, all applets working with terminal
and maybe a few others will benefit from it..

What do you think ?

			Michael.
