roadmap towards uutils

[YukariChiba]

Since busybox lacks some necessary features and is not well maintained, eweOS plans to transfer most of busybox's functionality to uutils and other programs in the future. busybox will no longer provide command symlinks at that time, but will retain those commands.

• busybox will not link against libutmps (and maybe also ncurses) any more
