I have a much more up-to-date and granular command list at:

  http://landley.net/toybox/status.html

Which is generated by the plumbing in commits 635 and 639.

That, however, lists usleep as one of the "uncategorized" commands,
which means either A) somebody asked me for it or B) the LFS build broke
because it wasn't there. (Checking my notes, one of the Interested
Parties Who Wish To Remain Anonymous asked for it.)

Applied.

Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation.  Pick one.
