I don't use nfs so I have no idea, but I'm pondering having a 
"busybox-1.1.1.fixes.patch" in the download directory that we add to if we 
find stupid stuff like the losetup dependency thing.  (I'm not releasing a 
1.1.1, but I can have a patch to fix known issues...)

Each of these fixes would of course need to be checked into the current tree 
first.  (Something to resolve the issue, anyway.  Not necessarily the same 
exact patch.)

Comments?
