Build a shared library libbusybox.so.N.N.N which contains all
busybox code.
- This feature allows every applet to be built as a tiny
- separate executable. Enabling it for "one big busybox binary"
- approach serves no purpose and increases code size.
- You should almost certainly say "no" to this.

-### help
-### Build a libbusybox with the complete feature-set, disregarding
-### the actually selected config.
-###
-### Normally, libbusybox will only contain the features which are
-### used by busybox itself. If you plan to write a separate
-### standalone application which uses libbusybox say 'Y'.
-###
-### Note: libbusybox is GPL, not LGPL, and exports no stable API that
-### might act as a copyright barrier. We can and will modify the
-### exported function set between releases (even minor version number
-### changes), and happily break out-of-tree features.
