- a lot faster (linear algorithmic complexity, smaller memory foot print)
- a lot smaller (the old code was overly complicated)
- loading of aliases is now module-init-tools compliant
- blacklisting is done correctly (-b option added)
- module argument quoting done right
- depmod now correctly generates modules.symbols and modules.alias

libbb is BusyBox's utility library. All of this stuff used to be stuffed into
a single file named utility.c. When I split utility.c to create libbb, some of
the very oldest stuff ended up without their original copyright and licensing
information (which is now lost in the mists of time). If you see something
that you wrote that is mis-attributed, do let me know so we can fix that up.
