I'm not sure of the status of my xargs patch - this is the patch that makes
it run the sub-commands once it reaches the user-specified argument limit.
After some discussion on the list, mostly with vodz, neither of the two
possible resolutions was forthcoming: patch not applied and no replacement
implementation of xargs (a topic which was raised too). This leaves busybox
still with a useless (for me) implementation of xargs. My patch improves it
to be better than the GNU findutils version. I have also raised a
low-priority fault against GNU findutils and suggested a simple change which
would improve its behaviour to match too.
However, I'm no longer working on the project that needed this patch as I
left my employer yesterday after being made redundant, so there's no great
urgency about it.
