Not sure you can do that, since symbolic (or other) links are treated
differently under different OS's. Besides, downloading a link seems... odd,
don't you think?
Perhaps a simpler option would be to create a 10-second hack of a script
that basically says:
$ for i in cp ls rm mv cat ; do ln -s ./busybox $i; done
and then just make just it gets executed somehow.
