This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

archive_xread can be replaced with bb_full_read, and archive_copy_file
with bb_copyfd*
bb_copyfd is split into two functions bb_copyfd_size and bb_copyfd_eof,
they share a common backend.
Use the old fork() method of tar compression support, rather than
read_bz2....
- (*uncompress)(int in, int out) seems like a more natural interface
for compression code.
- it might improve performance by seperating the work into one cpu
bound and one io bound process.
- There is extra code required to do read_[gz|bunzip] since (*uncompress)(int in,
int out) will normally be used by the standalone compression applet.
There have been problems with this method so if you see a "Short read"
error let me know.

REGTYPE
AREGTYPE
These flags represent a regular file. In order to be compatible with
older versions of tar, a typeflag value of AREGTYPE should be silently
recognized as a regular file. New archives should be created using
REGTYPE. Also, for backward compatibility, tar treats a regular file
whose name ends with a slash as a directory.
