84 things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell.

89 work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been
90 out of town.

94 BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
95 shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
96 Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new
97 shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
98 construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry
99 Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in
100 progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a>
101 and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next
102 release of BusyBox.

102 This release fixes lots of bugs (including an ugly bug in 0.46
103 syslogd that could fork-bomb your system). Added several new
104 apps: rdate, wget, getopt, dos2unix, unix2dos, reset, unrpm,
105 renice, xargs, and expr. syslogd now supports network logging.
106 There are the usual tar updates. Most apps now use getopt for
107 more correct option parsing.
