Applied patch from Gaute B Strokkenes <gs234@cam.ac.uk> to use a binary search

to locate applets, rather than a linear search. Also, broke out the listing of
applets into it's own file: applets.h.

+ * applets.h - a listing of all busybox applets.
+ *
+ * If you write a new applet, you need to add an entry to this list to make
+ * busybox aware of it.
+ *
+ * It is CRUCIAL that this listing be kept in ascii order, otherwise the binary
+ * search lookup contributed by Gaute B Strokkenes stops working. If you value
+ * your kneecaps, you'll be sure to *make sure* that any changes made to this
+ * file result in the listing remaining in ascii order. You have been warned.
