a1d187a8a8 Backtick support to infinite (memory limited) levels of nesting is
now implemented...  So now busybox shell can do cool stuff like:

    /home/andersen/CVS/busybox # echo foo `wc README` bar
    foo 71 422 2951 README bar

I love writing cool new features....  Muhahahaha...  (I think this is
leaking a little bit of memory every time it expands a backtick process,
so I still needs to do a bit of cleanup...)

37653aaf9c Added some smallish comments to help folks understand why we have two tables
of builtins and the reasoning behind it.

Tested under both libc5 and libc6 and all seems well with these fixes.

bcd6177853 BusyBox shell (lash) can now be used as a standalone shell when
BB_FEATURE_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined (i.e. BusyBox can now completely replace
sash).  Also fixed it so shell builtins now respect pipes and redirects.

7ab9c7ee52 Lots of updates. Finished implementing BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP
which lets you compile out most of the "--help" output, saving
up to 17k.

Renamed mnc to nc.

3522eb1ab3 First pass at writing a shell for busybox.
Works fine, full job control support, etc.
No syntax yet (if, then, while, etc).  Handles
pipes and & processes fine.

TODO: add command editing, add syntax suport.
