I've got a branch I use for local "enhancements", not all of which I'm inclined to upstream. (It includes some nasty hacks I used to get stuff building in the past, most of which may be unneeded now.) This is branch "enh" from https://github.com/idunham/busybox The parts you might find interesting are: miscutils/nroff.c - a slightly buggy/WIP nroff that I dug up from the list (This needs man to be patched.) miscutils/mixer.c - mixer applet from bifferos, with a couple small updates util-linux/{fbvnc.c,vnc.h} - a framebuffer VNC client someone ported years ago util-linux/guess_fs.c - originally a standalone tool from jamesbond on the Puppy Linux forums, I only integrated it into busybox; it shows the filesystem type. Equivalent to Puppy guess_fstype/Toybox fstype. Somewhere out there, there's "button.c" and "wavplay.c" applets from bifferos. I've lost track of them, though (the old links seem to be dead now).
