 binary for each applet enabled in busybox, and making sure these symlinks are
 in the shell's command $PATH.  Running "make install" creates these symlinks,
 or "make install-hardlinks" creates hardlinks instead (useful on systems with

 "busybox.links" (created by make), which contains the list of enabled applets
 and the path at which to install them.

+Installing links to busybox is not always necessary.  The special applet name

+also configure a standaone install capability into the busybox base applet,
+and then install such links at runtime with one of "busybox --install" (for
+hardlinks) or "busybox --install -s" (for symlinks).
