 Yes,  but it is nothing new because 1.2.2.1's readlink works in the
same manner.

 I recently posted a more complete readlink applet to toybox m-list
but it requires a little bit of love (test, size reduction, thinking
about some corner case). I do not think it could be used AS-IS for
busybox however I think would require not such effort to be integrated
in bb. Feel free to use it and if you like give a little credit to
toybox team because I had their support in developing that patch.

 Cheers,
