+ * Fixed a _horrible_ bug where 'tar -tvf' could unlink

+ * Fixed a nasty bug in tar when could mess up saved symlinks.
+ * Updates to handle Linux 2.4.0 kernels (kludged around the
+ "none" entries in /proc/mounts, added a hack to make sysinfo
+ work with both old and new kernels).
+ * Fixed insmod module option parsing for options lacking an '='.
+ Fix thanks to Marc Nijdam <marc_nijdam@hp.com>
+ * Fixed segfault with 'cut -f 1 -d:' and added 'cut -s' suport.
+ Fix thanks to Arne Bernin <arne@matrix.loopback.org>
+ * Added support for "sh -c command args...", thanks to
+ Marius Groeger <mgroeger@sysgo.de>
+ * Added support for being a login shell, so things like
+ '-su' or '-sh' (stuff where argv[0][0]=='-') will now always
+ invoke the shell. Now you can use BusyBox as a login shell.
+ * ls.c now ignores '-g', since some ftp clients like that sort
+ of thing. Patch thanks to David Vrabel <dvrabel@arcom.co.uk>

* Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
* Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
staticly linked busybox containing only insmod and sh, a few /dev
entries, and a kernel module or two... It doesn't get smaller
then this folks (I pity the fool that writes insmod in asm ;-).
- Many kudos go to Ron Alder <alder@lineo.com> for finishing this off!!!
