The script isn't, but bits of toybox it leans on are.

The PENDING list in scripts/install.sh (part of make install_airlock) is the
list of stuff it still needs in order to build itself.

But there are two commands (sh and route) that the toybox init script needs in
order to boot itself, you can switch them on out of pending but toysh can't run
the init script yet. (That's what I was working on before ELC, and I haven't
properly gotten back to it since...)

Up to you, doesn't make a difference to me either way.

The lack of toysh has been significantly limiting. Working on it.
