Interesting - busybox in shr testing and unstable (upgraded today)
doesn't seem to have builtin 'nice' functionality, but contains 'renice' - weird ;)
Anyway, I'll go looking for a source tarball of 'nice' now, as I really would
like to avoid building busybox... the last time I fiddled with core system
utilities on my fr, it broke GSM on my SHR testing - and that was just by
installing packages from the official repository ;)

Anyway, thanks for your help so far :)
