The help text and applet list should not be shown and no error thrown
as this is the expected behavior so it should be:

This makes sense; return 0 if the busybox binary is called without an
applet as the next argument.
In this other 2 cases the error messages are completely
broken and non-sense as they misrepresent the long name option
which is not correctly parsed as the applet name

I know why this happens but it probably shouldn't happen. It's reading
the first '-' specially.
The expected behavior should be something like this
>> $ ./busybox --list
>> --list: unknown option
>> $ echo $?
>> 1
Probably so.
I propose renaming the option to CONFIG_BUSYBOX_APPLET instead of
CONFIG_BUSYBOX, making sure it's on by default (I think it already is),
and modifying the config help text to warn the user of the consequences.
Most people should probably not turn this off in the first place.
