+       * Erik Andersen -- updates so you can now select from the Makefile
+           whether or not to use the system's passwd and group functions.
+           Since most systems use GNU libc, this can save you from having to
+           install the /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration file and the required
+           libnss_* libraries.  Adds 1.5k.  You can now, also, disable this, 
+           causing busybox to use the system's pwd.h and grp.h functions.
