Store bbconfig data in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
before output.
If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
you probably want this.

Original chat uses some escape sequences in SEND arguments which
are not sent to device but rather performs special actions.
E.g. "\K" means to send a break sequence to device.
"\d" delays execution for a second, "\p" -- for a 1/100 of second.

Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
