And toybox is different enough from BusyBox that it'll be at least as much 
work again to port it over.  (The infrastructure is already totally 
different, and will get more so.)  I expect to have to retest everything all 
over again, fairly thoroughly.  And I'm putting the curly brackets back at 
the end of the else lines, too. :P

That said, I had a todo item to look at your hacked up hotplug and port it to 
mdev when I got mdev into toybox anyway.  (I'm starting by porting over the 
applets I wrote, or rewriting the ones that I partially wrote, and filling in 
the shared library infrastructure as I need it.)
