Well, I tried it and it actually does *not* work, due to the way crunchgen
works: 

# cd /rescue
# ln -s vi ex   (I tried both soft- and hardlinks)
# /rescue/ex
rescue: ex not compiled in
Usage: rescue <prog> <args> ..., where <prog> is one of:
 cat chio chmod cp csh -csh date dd df domainname echo ed expr hostname
 [...long list...]
# 

So, if we want ex(1) in /rescue, it has to be added to the list.  Again, it
will differ only a few bytes since ex(1) *is* vi(1).  

Ok to commit?
