FAQ update needed

I notice under the FAQ section "Programming questions," the entry 
"Adding an applet to busybox" prescribes adding the applet to the 
"relevant Makefile.in file."  I believe the reference should now be "the 
relevant Kbuild file."  Also, I can't find "needlibm" or "needcrypt" in 
any of the files in the 1-15.3 version.  Maybe the sentence about them 
should be removed.  I suggest changing the following:

<li>Add your applet to the relevant Makefile.in file (in the same 
directory as the Config.in you chose), using the existing entries as a 
template and the same CONFIG symbol as you used for Config.in.  (Don't 
forget "needlibm" or "needcrypt" if your applet needs libm or 
libcrypt.)</li>

to:

<li>Add your applet to the relevant Kbuild file (in the same directory 
as the Config.in you chose), using the existing entries as a template 
and the same CONFIG symbol as you used for Config.in.</li>
