Yes, this is way to go. I also tried to compile another busybox just with the missing stuff (statically agains uclibc :-) Also it is good that same binary can be called in rootfs too when installing/flashing bootmenu so we can use patch, md5sum, ... without any external dependency.

I guess there should be another submenu with such custom stuff and usb networking with ssh/telnet should be moved there too.

Such menu can be constructed at flashing time depending on choices for extra stuff. Also such extra stuff should be modularized not hardcoded like now. bootmenu installer should discover such modules/packages at initfs jffs2 creation time and call into them to install their stuff into initfs.
