I've updated the abovementioned script accordingly.
E.g.
mkdir -p /tmp/scratch
cd /tmp/scratch
~/bin/mk.busybox.sh


alternatively you can specify the full path to the existing directory:
$ ~/bin/mk.busybox.sh /there/space/

Note that it will wipe any /there/space/busybox directory that may
exists there and checkout trunk anonymously.
