BusyBox in the Hava Titanium

The Hava Titanium uses the open source BusyBox package from www.busybox.net/ for many of the standard Linux utilities. What’s interesting is they use two different versions of BusyBox, 1.0 and 1.6.1. I’m not sure why they do this, it seems like using the newer version for everything would be better. I’ll have to look into BusyBox more and see if I can find a reason for using both versions.
