Smaller is (usually) better (and as I said we're going to do more work
on the footprint part in ksh93 after the initial putback).
I agree, I am jus

I gather BusyBox is intended for use in embedded distributions only,
not "normal" ones constrained by backwards compatibility. In those
situations, it would replace a bunch of commands.
I would imagine the idea would be to reimplement it as an alternative
libcmd for use with ksh93, in an environm
BusyBox incorporated the debian ash shell 0.3.8-5 with release 0.52

Huh. BusyBox is orthogon
