http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-March/019484.html

I complained about the change t the time.  I've complained repeatedly since.
But nobody felt like fixing it.  External dependencies are something to be
minimized.  I don't care about the ability for packages to build outside
busybox: something is either part of busybox, or it isn't.  If I convert any
part of the external udhcp repository to use libbb, I've broken the external
package.  Any random cleanups that touch that directory suddenly have to worry
about external dependencies that are NOT OUR PROBLEM.  Therefore, that
directory is not and cannot be part of busybox.  Wishful thinking isn't going
to change that.  I will not ship something I can't maintain.

ls has an ugly bug. ls uses an array of pointers, the elements of
which are all in a linked list. To free the elements, instead of
freeing all the elements in the array, array[0..nelements], it frees
