trylink: explain how to modify link and drastically decrease amount
of padding (unfortunately, needs hand editing ATM).
*: add ALIGN1 / ALIGN2 to global strings and arrays of bytes and shorts
size saving: 0.5k
correct_password: explain in detail why it is ok to use bb_banner
fsck_minix: make it print bb version, not it's own (outdated/irrelevant) one

executable if we asked to exec someting with argv[0] == known_applet"
Use it in init. Also respect PATH in init, remove explicit "/sbin" etc
from exec. Patch by Gabriel L. Somlo <somlo@cmu.edu>
init's argv[1], so if you append "single" to your kernel command line and
the kernel doesn't parse it, RUNLELEL=single.
Plus a few unrelated header cleanups while I was in the area...
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/waitpid.html suggests
that we need not specify a status if we don't want, and we don't.
"If wait() or waitpid() return because the status of a child process is available, these functions shall return a value equal to the process ID of the child process. In this case, if the value of the argument stat_loc is not a null pointer, information shall be stored in the location pointed to by stat_loc. "

- add second argument to waitfor(*action,pid); if action==NULL then use pid tor
wait for. If an action was given, we wait for the action to finish just as
before. In run() remove second and third occurance of the same functionality
the waitfor() call now provides.
Adjust the former only caller of waitfor accordingly.
PS: Not using waitfor but creating a second function used a few bytes more than
simply extending and reusing waitfor.

It makes busybox invoke the libselinux library function to load the binary
policy right at system start-up. It was successfully tested on a mini-SELinux
system. Note: requires recent libselinux. I'm using 1.28.
