I remember once upon a time having instructions for building busybox sed so 
you could configure busybox with it.

I vaguely pondered having a "make prerequisites" that would build busybox from 
a canned .config file, install it into a subdirectory, and then re-run the 
build 
with the $PATH adjusted to have that subdirectory at the start of the build.

Then The Bruce happened and I lost interest...

Can of worms, please don't go there.
