ugh, seems there was a bit fallen over when I typed the mail ;-o

It would be good to have an simple API for writing such commandlets,
so that they can be easily built standalone or compiled in into
larger utils like busybox without changes in the source. Maybe a well
defined set of preprocessor symbols / macros could easily do the job.
For example:
#include "commandlet.h"
#ifdef CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER
CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER
#endif
int
#ifdef CMDLET_MAIN_NAME
CMDLET_MAIN_NAME
#else
main
#endif
(int argc, char** argv);
{
}
When built within some shell, we pass -DCMDLET_MAIN_NAME=...
so that the surrounding code (makefile ?) can control how the
main function is named (ie. foo_main() instead of main()).
By defining CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER we can add something to
the function declaration, ie "static".
