Summary:                    patch:  allow init to set controlling tty
Description: 
busybox init will currently strip a leading '-' from the command name of
programs which it invokes.  shells, for instance, are sometimes specified
this way in order to specify a login shell.

this patch (against 1.00) adds a config option which causes init to cause
any such hyphen-prefixed program to run in its own session, with a
controlling tty (if applicable).  this makes it possible to write startup
scripts which will properly respond to tty-based signals, aborts, etc. 
this behavior is non-traditional for init, but useful.
