Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerably 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. -Erik

If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's password
and group functions. And if you are using the GNU C library
(glibc), you will then need to install the /etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in
order for the password and group functions to work. This generally
makes your embedded system quite a bit larger.
Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
system's /etc/password, /etc/group files (and your system will be
smaller, and I will get fewer emails asking about how glibc NSS
works). When this option is enabled, you will not be able to use
PAM to access remote LDAP password servers and whatnot. And if you
want hostname resolution to work with glibc, you still need the
/lib/libnss_* libraries.
If you enable this option, it will add about 1.5k to busybox.
