I'm plugging the sucker into Firmware Linux again.  (I've disabled toybox 
almost entirely for the moment, only used for oneit and patch.)

The huge piles of bugs and missing features I found from 2003 through 2006?  
Pretty much from plugging the sucker into a full development environment, 
building a Linux system using it, and then running the result and trying to 
debug it under itself.

I am, however, still banging on the release version, not svn.

Expect more bugs. :)

P.S  The "optimize cursor movement" option of VI _totally_does_not_work_.  You 
have to disable that or the screen is garbage.  (For me, anyway...)
