[OE-core] static busybox?

We are doing some work with LXC (containers) and one of the templates
is for busybox.  For LXC, the busybox package needs to be built statically and
there is a config option for this.

A couple possible approaches:

   -create a new 'busybox_static' recipe that the lxc package
    depends on that turns on the needed build options.   Pretty
    straightforward, but now there are 2 variants of the busybox
    package.

   -somehow propagate some configuration options through to
    the standard busybox recipe so it turns on the config
    option to build things statically.   Not sure how to
    do this, and seems like it could get pretty messy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Stuart Yoder
