I actually think it's better to have these tools separate from
Busybox, available from Maemo repositories. That way:
- They don't "bloat" the Bysybox version in the product
- They can be the full versions

(i.e. things that would go to the product) in a separate
bug from utilities that should be easily installable/available
from Maemo repositories.
