When include/applets.h is re-generated
it generates code macros in include/applets.h e.g.
IF_XZCAT(APPLET_ODDNAME(xzcat, unxz, BB_DIR_USR_BIN, BB_SUID_DROP, xzcat))
...
IF_CHVT(APPLET_NOEXEC(chvt, chvt, BB_DIR_USR_BIN, BB_SUID_DROP, chvt))
...
sed is used to process source files like below to feed into this header
generation
sed -n 's@^//applet:@@p' "$srctree"/*/*.c "$srctree"/*/*/*.c
this means we let shell decide the order of .c files being fed into sed
tool, applets.h has code snippets thats generated out of code fragments
from these .c files and the order of the generated code depends on the
order of .c files being fed to sed and then piped to generate tool, even
though the generated code is logically same, it does result in re-odered
code in applets.h based on which shell was used during build on exact busybox
sources since sort order is different based on chosen locale and also default shell
being bash or dash
This sets the environment variable LC_ALL to the value C, which will
enforce bytewise sorting, irrespective of the shell

Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.
The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.

- Force a rebuild if a script in applets_sh is changed.
- Move the dummy usage messages for custom applets to usage.h and
change the name from 'dummy' to 'scripted'.
- Hide an error from gen_build_files.sh if an embed directory exists
but is empty.
- Tidy up embedded_scripts script.
v2: Remove a couple of unnecessary tests in embedded_scripts, as
pointed out by Xabier Oneca.

BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be
distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets.
Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build
time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear
as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible.
Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and
are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen
to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time
and appear just like native applets.
Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be
helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the
script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example.

I am using quilt to manage patches internally. Quilt creates dir .pc
and stores unmodified files there. Since I made change in one of
Config.src quilt made a copy in .pc/xxx.patch/xxx/Config.src. When
I run make it calls gen_build_files.sh and it generates
.pc/xxx.patch/xxx/Config.in. Now when I want to pop patch quilt
thinks I have made changes to original xxx/Config.in.
IMO the best solution is just to ignore hidden directories in
gen_build_files.sh. This also results in shorter build time in case
busybox is under git/svn versioning, since it avoids searching
many directories for Config.src.

The shell parsing of files is incredibly slow on many systems. With
one report, the process was taking a minute or two which made people
thing the build was hung. So rewrite the craziness with sed and proper
shell functions. On an idle system, this cut the runtime by half.

While doing O=build build I've noticed that it was getting gradually
slower with each invocation. The reason turned out to be that the build
directory was inside the source tree and got recreated inside itself
with all its subdirectories.
This patch changes the behavior so that only the directories with
Kbuild.src or Config.src in them are created in the out-of-tree build
directory. A quick rebuild from scratch revealed no problems with this.
