    3434    busybox lacks a way to update module deps when running from firmware without the
    3535    use of the depmod.pl (perl is to bloated for most embedded setups) and or orig
    36     modutils. The orig depmod is rather pointless to have to add to a firmware image 
     36    modutils. The orig depmod is rather pointless to have to add to a firmware image
    3737    in when we already have a insmod/rmmod and friends.
    3838  Unify base64 handling.
    39     There's base64 encoding and decoding going on in:
    40       networking/wget.c:base64enc()
    41       coreutils/uudecode.c:read_base64()
    42       coreutils/uuencode.c:tbl_base64[]
    43       networking/httpd.c:decodeBase64()
    44     And probably elsewhere.  That needs to be unified into libbb functions.

    4540  Do a SUSv3 audit

    121   Makefile stuff:
    122     make -j is broken, -j1 is forced atm
     115Bernhard Fischer <busybox@busybox.net> suggests to look at these:
    123116  New debug options:
    124117    -Wlarger-than-127
     118    Cleanup any big users
     119    -Wunused-parameter
     120    Facilitate applet PROTOTYPES to provide means for having applets that
     121    do a) not take any arguments b) need only one of argc or argv c) need
     122    both argc and argv. All of these three options should go for the most
     123    feature complete denominator.
    125124  Collate BUFSIZ IOBUF_SIZE MY_BUF_SIZE PIPE_PROGRESS_SIZE BUFSIZE PIPESIZE
    126     Use bb_common_bufsiz1?
     125    make bb_common_bufsiz1 configurable, size wise.
     126    make pipesize configurable, size wise.
     127    Use bb_common_bufsiz1 throughout applets!

    138    you can remove a file by sending out a context diff that compares
    139    the file to be deleted with an empty file dated the Epoch.  The
    140    file will be removed unless patch is conforming to POSIX and the
    141    -E or --remove-empty-files option is not given.
