This is a good choice, the process can be autommated in the Bootstrap
process (we can compile the required packages for initramfs while the
whole Bootstrap process).

At the moment i have this recipes (i will send them as soon as
possible):

* Dietlibc
* Klibc
* Klibc-Udev, this package needs to be done with a explicit recipe
because latest udev release doesn't support klibc implementations, and
while the make process it needs to be passed some variables to the make
utility.
* Diet-LVM, this doesn't need a recipe, can be compiled passing
additional arguments to Compile.
* Diet-Device-Mapper, same as above.

Now i'm trying to compile suspend against a little glibc implementation
to save space.

The whole process of build the initramfs cpio file could be done using
uClibC and busysbox without any problem or change (only changes into
the config file and maybe minimal changes into the init script), so is
very configurable to our needs.

Greets.
