+<h2>BsdBox</h2>
+
+<p>Somebody decided to do a <a href=https://wiki.freebsd.org/AdrianChadd/BsdBox>multicall binary for freebsd</a>.</p>
+
+<p>They based it on crunchgen, a tool that glues existing programs together
+into an archive and uses the name to execute the right one. It has no
+simplification or code sharing benefits whatsoever, it's basically an
+archiver that produces executables.</p>
+
+<p>That's about where I stopped reading.</p>

+<h2>OpenSolaris Busybox</h2>

+<p>Somebody <a href=http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+busybox/>wrote
+a wiki page</a> saying that Busybox for OpenSolaris would be a good idea.</p>
+
+<p>The corresponding "files" tab is an auto-generated stub. The project never
+even got as far as suggesting commands to include before Oracle discontinued
+OpenSolaris.</p>
