It would IMO be cleaner to have them separate but if folks have a strong
need to merge them, I could bend it to behave..

That said, we could shift the applet prototypes to an applets.h and mv
the current applets.h to applet_list.h (or the like), but thats just
moving stuff around for no real benefit, imho.

Mike, is there a specific reason why you would want to merge busybox.h
and libbb.h apart from just sloppily including busybox.h anywhere
instead of knowing what one needs where?
