I was thinking most people with an SSD would "mount -o discard" and
let the filesystem take care of issuing trim commands. Trimming
manually from a shell script seems like more of a niche requirement.

The fstrim applet adds less than 200 bytes to the busybox binary
though (x86). I'll send an updated patch series which leaves it
enabled.
