I think that will be good thing, yes. But it is not mandatory, obviously. > Merging that with your branch allows it to build > without needing to faff with tarballs.

At least basic install and rescue mode, some stuff in advanced mode - all work fine as far as I can see. As I mentioned already, there was no _config_ changes in this 1.18 package compared with 1.17, so the only possible changes are bugs introduced in busybox itself, but there should - hopefully - be none, and even if there are such bugs, we'll fix them later.
