Dont know. ${ROOT_DIR}/usr/lib/gconv is full of not-very-useful-to-me
things as well, like Chinese support, and localepurge doesnt handle
those files. It might be getting closer to the time to try replacing
glibc with uclibc or dietlibc.

Yes.

Im just doing that manually for now.

busybox_links.default is attached, and needs to be in the dir above ${ROOT_DIR}.
I generated it by reading /usr/portage/sys-apps/busybox/files/Config.h-0.60.5-cd

cd ${ROOT_DIR}
for i in `cat ../busybox_links.default`;do echo $i;for j in `find . -name $i`;do ln -sf /bin/busybox $j >/dev/null 2>&1;basename $j;done;done | sort | uniq -u | xargs -n1 --replace ln -s /bin/busybox bin/{}

I integrated localepurge into submerge as well, but I havent checked if its working
properly. There was something about a missing file.

pgawk is profiling gawk; not useful on an embedded system. Also Im sure
that pgawk should be a symlink to pgawk-3.1.2. Might have to file a
bugreport on that one.

busybox awk might be good enough to let the init scripts work, otherwise
mawk is smaller than gawk. If you try either, let me know how it goes.
