Thanks!
I'll see what I can do. I've been trying the busybox shell as well and it looks like \
it also would benefit from being able to call the different tools as builtins. I \
really need the tools to be called as functions from the shell (and not as new \
processes) in order to make a useful shell-script (we don't have an MMU on our chip, \
ETRAX 100, which makes loading busybox pretty slow...). I probably won't make it to \
the 0.47 release though (got some other stuff to do right now). /Jonas
