dev_t. This is especially important now that the user space concept of a dev_t
and the kernel concept of a dev_t are divergant. The only bit of user space
allowed to know the number of major and minor bits is include/sys/sysmacros.h
(i.e. part of libc). When used with a current C library and a 2.6.x kernel,
this fix should allow BusyBox to support wide device major/minor numbers.

Hello,
I found and patched 2 more bugs. The first is a misplaced semi-colon. The second
one is a buffer overflow. I doubt the buffer overflow is triggered in real life.
But you never know what those wily hackers are up to.
Thanks,
Steve Grubb
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!

init_archive_deb_data()
We want to filter for data.tar.* in the AR file not the TAR
file, else we get nothing.
all_control_list()
Make the 'extensions' array of control file names a global so it
can be used in unpack_package as well. Name the global
all_control_files. Don't hard code the length of
all_control_files but instead used sizeof.
unpack_package()
Only unpack the control files we are interested in (from
all_control_files). Extract the data.tar.gz into / rather than
the current directory.
dpkg_main()
Configure packages in a second pass so all the packages being
installed are unpacked before configuring.
Some purely cosmetic changes:
header
update list of differences since two of them are no longer true.
The .control file is no longer stored as a result of this patch
-- it was redundant since the info is in status. New packages
appear to be added to the end of the status file now rather than
the start.
remove_package()
Make message printing optional, so we can avoid a redundant
message when replacing/upgrading a package. When we do print
stuff then include the version number.
purge_package()
Print "Purging xxx (yyy) ..." message like the other actions.
configure_package()
Add "..." to "Setting up" message to be consistent with other
actions.
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.
open_transformer(), common code for pipe+fork.
Function pointer for read() no longer needed.
Allow inflate to be initialised with a specified buffer size to avoid
over-reading.
Reset static variables in inflate_get_next_window to fix a bug where
only the first file in a .zip would be be extracted.
