We have busybox already - it's called bsdbox, and it's in base, and
we're already using it, and yes, it does pull in libxo. :)
I'm not worried about the size increase of libxo. That's the wrong
thing to focus on. If it gets much more bloated then I'll poke people
with the big "what are you thinking" stick. The issues people have
aren't size related, they're "this API needs improvement and we have
bugs introduced into tools."
I do like how zero percent of the comments are "hey, maybe we need
unit tests that run these tools and ensure they output the right
stuff." If this were ${WORK} and I were ${BOSS}, I'd have asked the
libxo developers to include unit tests before/after for each thing
they broke, so we don't have a repeat of this kind of thing. But, this
apparently isn't ${WORK} and I definitely don't want to be anyones
boss, so..
