     Busybox should have a sample initramfs build script.  This depends on

+  mkdep
+    Write a mkdep that doesn't segfault if there's a directory it doesn't
+    have permission to read, isn't based on manually editing the output of

+    Go through and turn all the global and static variables into structures,

+    sed.c and mdev.c for examples.
+  Go through bugs.busybox.net and close out all of that somehow.
