Hello Maurice!

A closer inspection reveals that busybox includes several shell  
choices:

ash
bash
lash
sh

echo $SHELL in all of them reports /bin/sh

I was relying on separate GNUWin32 programs before. At one time  
I needed a decent split command. I eventually found it in the  
GNUWin32 collection, but the maximum split it supported was  
2GB.  Busybox split doesn't seem to have that limitation.
