[BusyBox] run-parts help text patch

Hello,

The following patch updates the "run-parts" help text in Config.in, 
long options are supported now.

I also want to report a problem I have with "run-parts" in bb 
ifupdown:
When I want to configure a bridge interface with the external brctl 
utility (bridge.o kernel module loaded), with the following lines in 
/etc/network/interfaces:

iface br0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.254
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge_ports all

The appropiate scripts in if-up.d, if-pre-up.d, if-post-down.d 
(Debian scripts) and the busybox applet "run-parts" installed. 

When I do a "ifup br0" I get the following message:

# ifup br0
ifup: failed to stat component : No such file or directory

This seems to come from the run-parts applet.
Doing the same in "real" ifupdown and a "real" run-parts program, all 
works correct.

I did a lot of searching in the sources, but couldn't find the 
problem. Can someone else look at it?

Regards,
Eric Spakman
