[Toybox] Pondering mdev...

Hello,
I've noticed that in mdev coldplug (mdev -s) is supported, but hotplug is 
TODO.
I also note that an optional (busybox) fourth field is not supported.
This is >dir/ to link  or =dir/ to move the device into /dev/dir/;

mice		root:root 0766 =input/
#creates /dev/input/mice

is one example.
Without these mdev creates a flat directory not grouped by subsystem.

I'm thinking about poking at mdev and seeing if I can add these features.
Any thoughts on this (higher priorities, hints as to how to proceed)?

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
