BusyBox ash as subshell for mc (midnight commander)?

 This is exactly the kind of situation where execline is most useful. For
such easy wrappers, you don't need the full power of a shell, you just
need to rewrite the argv. The following script does the job, with a
totally negligible performance loss, unless you can't afford a single
execve():

#!/command/execlineb -S0
/bin/busybox ash $@

 (no, no need for "exec".)
 Check it out at http://www.skarnet.org/software/execline/ and stop
worrying about the costs of scripting, forever. :P
