You're probably right, I guess the best solution would be to implement
hotplug-call script behavior directly in the libubox library.

We could make netifd use that hotplug_call() helper, but now I noticed
that netifd simply uses setenv() after the fork(). That may be simpler
than building all that envp array.


I'm not sure now if it's better to work on:
1) Improved (native) hotplug_call() implementation in the libubox
2) Original idea of doing fork() in the fstools / block + setenv()

Implementing hotplug_call() was originally suggested by John, let's see
what's his opinion too.
