  Actually, I was hoping to convince the devs to accept a patched ebuild
that would accept busybox with the +mdev flag, in addition to the other
options in RDEPEND.  If this gets accepted by the devs, it would imply
changes in the Gentoo docs, plus an additional new profile, etc, etc.

  Right now, it has to be manually maintained, because it's off the
beaten path, and beta-testing, etc.  I'm not looking to fork Gentoo.  I
want this to become another optional profile, not a hack-job that has to
be manually maintained by the user.

  IANACP (I Am Not A C Programmer).  I'm willing to help out in the
documentation, or where ever else I can.
