the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Ok. Patch attached.
When using "losetup" the device is always setup as Read-Only.
(I have only tested with the -o flag, but looking at the code the
problem seems general)
The problem is the "opt" variable in "losetup.c" that is reused in
the "set_loop()" call. Clear it before the call and everything is OK;
opt = 0; /* <-------- added line */
if (delete)
return del_loop (argv[optind]) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
else
return set_loop (argv[optind], argv[optind + 1], offset, &opt)
? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

If BusyBox was compiled with -DCONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP dmesg command
segfaults if invoked with the "-n" option. (Due to a free() of an
uninitialized pointer).
"rootfs" entry as well as the traditional "/dev/root" entry. This caused
applets such as mount and df to display two root filesystem entries....
This teaches the relevant utilities to ignore the "rootfs" entry.

during 'mount -a'. If the user wants to do that, hey, its their
lifs. If the nfs server is down and they don't want to wait for
nfs to time out, that is their problem.

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

The following usage from original user:
$ ./busybox swapon -a
Have typo problem:
swapon: swapon: Operation not permitted
But regular version:
swapon: /dev/hda5: Operation not permitted
Patch attached, reduced 9 bytes and advanced
exit code also.
