ok to add ex(1) to /rescue?

Hi, 

is it ok if I add ex(1) to /rescue ?  I prefer it over ed(1)
on screwed
terminals, and it doesn't use extra space since we already
have /rescue/vi
and ex is just "vi -e".

FWIW, this can be done as link:

 	miyu% ln -s `which vi` ex
 	miyu% ./ex
 	/tmp/vi.25181b: new file: line 1
 	:

I know.  Only difference is that, in /rescue, it would be a
hardlink.

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?

Fine with *me*, but maybe ask core...
