genkernel has a staticly defined list of busybox applications it links no matter what the compiled applications are.  A list of the compiled applications is produced at the end of the busybox build-cycle.  This patch adds support for using this list to create the symlinks present on the initrd.  This way, every compilation of busybox can have all the proper symlinks created.

there is a bug currently when initrd-modules are enabled
for some reason modprobe overwrites the busybox executable, and I'm not sure why.  As soon as I fix it I'll post an updated patch.
