-* The default busybox shell, lash, is really too weak for serious use,

-    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.
