 The size is 47021 smaller with the same applets which is 12/13% less.
 Some other applets and options has been added. Even ignoring ipv6
(which is not complete by now) I think the balance is good.  After the
ipv6 completion having a new-era-busybox very stable branch and a
developing one could be fine.

 Cheers,
