Cross bootstrapable Nano with a customized package list
Be able to cross bootstrap Nano based on a customized package list, using multistrap or akin.
The idea is to experiment with new package sets, avoiding the need of the required list (priority: important), and also try to expand the usage of busybox as most we can.
