Maybe there are even simpler solutions, but this one seems to be
busybox-safe (sed must be on):

list=3D"a,b,c,d"
for option in `echo $list|sed -e's/,/\n/g'`; do
	case $option in
	a)
		do_this
		;;
	b)
		do_that
		;;
	...
	esac
done

But that's just a suggestion. Your approach is simpler and, given good
documentation, is ok as well.
