Hi,

The Blackfin uClinux distribution at blackfin.uclinux.org includes a patch to 
busybox's
msh that adds support for functions. It's a bit outdated (the last time I 
checked), but I
integrated it into busybox 1.4.1 and it works (for me) fine. msh hasn't changed
considerably since then, so I think with small effort the patch could be 
integrated into
trunk.
I'm willing to volunteer to do that, but I'm having some concerns mainly do to 
the fact
that I'm not the author of the original patch.
The patch does not contain copyright information, but a readme is included with 
it
saying:
--START--
                README for hacked msh

This patch is for enhancement of msh.  After apply this patch, msh can support
function recursive call.  So it is more like bash than before.  Many
applications under uClinux maybe need this patch to run some bash script under
msh, such as oprofile.
--END--

What can you say about that? Can someone from blackfin.uclinux.org (Mike?) 
check the
issue and integrate the patch / approve the integration by someone else (e.g. 
me) /
reject it?

Thanks,
Alex
