(I did not check the cvs or how it is done)
but if they did it right, they did it the same way busybox works:
independent code file that could work as independent executables (if
wrapped with some glue logic) but which work from one main executeable.
While it keeps the mantainability of lots of small tools, it is actually
better to manage for the user/admin (just one file), and the executable
might even be smaller (better for bootdisks or simmilar low diskspace
situations)
