The current version of busybox (0.60.2) contains ash.  I've also added
a few patches of my own to busybox.  I wondered if anyone else here
might be interested....

These are the patches:

1. Make tar use UNIX behavior not GNU behavior for full pathnames...
GNU behavior strips initial '/' and untars the file relative to the
current directory.  Standard UNIX was to untar to the fixed position
relative to root.

2. Automatically invoke the -a option for ls for the root user.  This
is for security.

3. Strip the help banner out of ash; I think this is now official...

I thought there was another, but I forget....

Interested?  Are there Dachstein patches to busybox?
