netkit-tiny. Per discussions on the mailing list, this isn't going
to happen. False alarm. Sorry about the confusion.
-* The default busybox shell, lash, is really too weak for serious use,
- although it is possible to run many simple systems with it. BusyBox
- 0.52 now contains a rewritten shell, hush, which understands most
- Bourne grammar, with only about a 4 Kbyte binary size penalty. You can
- engage hush at pre-compile time by "ln -sf hush.c sh.c; touch hush.c".
- Hush is young, and has plenty of bugs to shake out, so think twice before
- using it for production systems. We welcome bug reports and patches.

Possible apps to include some time:

It would be a very nice thing to reduce this list to an absolute minimum, to
reduce the footprint of busybox, especially when staticly linking with
libraries such as uClibc.
