catv: was abusing xopen, should not die on err, but warn only.

move several applets to more correct ex-project. No code changes.

uudecode: nuke duplicate base64_table[]. saves 65 bytes

top: on user suggestion make percentile calculations configurable. -56 bytes when off. +600 bytes when on
top: reorder columns, so that [P]PIDs are together and VSZ/%MEM are together. Makes more sense

- use bb_msg_full_version instead of a separate string. Saves a minor 3 bytes.

getopt_mk_fifo_nod: heed warning

top: improve global CPU percentage (smaller & faster code)

top: add config option and code for global CPU % display

moved biggest stack buffers to malloc space, or made their size configurable

393 kb of stack??? OMG...

httpd: move data off bss.
httpd: do not realpath() for SCRIPT_FILENAME - it resolves symlinks
but it should not:

-               if (!realpath(purl + 1, realpath_buff))

mdev: microscopic enhancement, should change nothing

grep: selection done by FEATURE_GREP_EGREP_ALIAS was broken, fix.

rmp: add optional support for bz2 data. +50 bytes of code

- fix invocation without any argument

hush: add missing dependencies (Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> (Freebox))

test: fix thinko in previous commit

test: recognize /path/to/[ case too

- Add a FAQ entry on "how do i cross compile busybox"

- add a config-time range check for IPC_SYSLOG_BUFFER_SIZE
  The upper-bound doesn't look like it is working since it accepts LONG_MAX as input. I suspect that this is an lxdialog feature or something like that ;)
