+          ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
+          extract contents from archives.  An archive is a single file holding
+          a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
+          retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
+          The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
+          and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
+          extraction.  
+          On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about XXX bytes.
+
+          Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
+          probably say N here.

+          bunzip2 is an compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
+          sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding.  Compression
+          is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
+          conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
+          performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.  
+          
+          The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only.  On an
+          x86 system, this applet adds about XXX bytes.
+          
+          Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you
