commit aa1e5ef5c1d95e7ebf0821d9ba27debe43a87a22

    kbuild: check if we can link gettext not just compile

    cygwin provides the header file but the lib file needs
    to be added manually. A generic fix is to check if
    we can compile and link a program that uses gettext()
    and if it fails fall back to NO_NLS.

    International users of cygwin may have to specify
    HOST_LOADLIBES := "-lintl" on the make command line.

Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

exported symbols may be weak, so allow symbols marked as W

syslogd: use DEV_CONSOLE consistently
init: remove obsolete comment

hexdump: add hd alias, add -R option

add comment clarifying busybox's use of non-standard tar header

tar: fix a case where glibc detects bogus buffer overrun
     which is not really there!

dmesg,klogd: make code more readable
libbb: explain why we declare klogctl
libbb: move defs around so that order makes more sense

- use standard-imposed constants some more

- remove most of the forward declarations. No obj-code changes.

- add note about SUSv3 missing options.
