I thought you were against the 'delete' flag solution in make_device ...
Have you checked out the revised version of my patch which uses a
separate function as you suggested
(http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-May/021617.html) ?

I think the $MDEV variable is not so necessary (if you want to shrink
the code a little), since the $DEVPATH var is already passed to the
command executed and can be used to get the actual device name by
removing the prefix.
