Another issue I found was with the iproute utility. While using another
program I found that it failed because the "ip route del" command was
not found. I looked at the full iproute implementation and this command
exists. The busybox version has the "ip route delete" command. I have
created a patch which makes the "ip route del" command an alias to the
"ip route delete" command.
