Yes that's it.  IMHO we shouldn't be inventing new applets for busybox.
Adding an implementation of the getent(1) and/or host(1) commands (both
very useful, but as mentioned before they do different things and have
different purposes) would be very useful for some no doubt.  Creating
applets with no precedent in other UNIX/POSIX systems is (again IMHO)
not a good idea for busybox.
