For BL2 I would instead put it into /bin/busybox.  I made a thorough mess 
of things trying to put it into /bin as in BL3 - everything stopped 
working and I had to rescue with BL3.  The paths are different.

Since there are already links to the programs in the current busybox in 
the target location, it should be enough to copy that to some backup file, 
and then copy the new busybox-1.01 to plain busybox, to use the old 
symlinks for the above.  Then your script to generate the rest of them.

Pine won't let me view the script as text, says it is in 'SH' format.

I notice some of the links to busybox programs are already in /sbin, which 
is before busybox on the path.  Which other ones should be moved there?
