Well, I won't say it is "important". It all really depends from the
perspective.

For one, I believe this is an interesting feature, from which busybox
could well benefit. So it makes sense to submit it to busybox. Of
course, this is not really correlated to our own makedevs, except by
ancestry.

So, if you have spare CPU cycles, please go ahead. If not, then no
problem. That was just a suggestion! ;-)

Thanks!
