Yes. The intention was to make the busybox binary as small as possible, 
because busybox is XIP in main memory. I want to reserve some main 
memory for computational intensive programs like MP3, OGG etc.

So why not use the stand alone versions; card memory space is cheap.
There was also the hope that stand alone versions would have more 
options than the minimal busybox implementation. I was very 
disappointed to learn that the "ls" command was not able to use 
color....

Amadeus
