PATCH 1/1 e2fsprogs symlinking

Hi,

When e2fsprogs is installed, it duplicates several binaries, which isn't
really very space efficient. This patch removes these duplicate binaries and replaces them with symlinks pointing to the original binary.
This saves 448kb on an uncompressed rootfs.

Regards,
?yvind Repvik
