Hi, there!

Can't all this be done in a "user needs it, user adds it" fashion? E.g., to 
add /etc/rescue.mk that will be .include'd in src/rescue/rescue/Makefile, 
adding the required binaries to the CRUNCH_PROGS_bin, CRUNCH_PROG_sbin, 
CRUNCH_LIBS lists?

E.g:
--- /etc/rescue.mk ---
CRUNCH_PROGS_sbin += chown

This will allow the "base" list to be trimmed to some minimalist level, and 
will still allow the users to add whatever they [think they] need to restore 
their system.

Regards,
Alexey.
