Dear Simon,

I would like to see this also. Is the busybox version the latest? There might even be some tests although I can't see any.
I have never been able to locate any other origin of the housh shell source code, so - exept for other ports - this is the only current souce I know of.
One concern is that it seems to be 3x the line count. Hopefully that doesn't result in 3x the code size. It also seems to have developed an even more severe case of #ifdef disease.
ouch...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

As the system comes up, the component builders will from time to time
appear, bearing hot new versions of their pieces -- faster, smaller,
more complete, or putatively less buggy. The replacement of a working
component by a new version requires the same systematic testing pro-
cedure that adding a new component does, although it should require
less time, for more complete and efficient test cases will usually be
available. - Frederick Brooks Jr., "The Mythical Man Month"
