Who would have thought that we could replace most of the basic system functions without touching the main file system tree.

Yeah, damn right. 30ish (* 140 odd) bytes as opposed to 2MB (* 140 odd). err quite the saving. plus we can probably bastardise the process, as you say, to serve us in other ways.
I never would have thought this much possible and to be fair with more thought we can probably not even touch the default config files.
some simple scripted injection of those values somewhere 'just before' w/e runtime is needed would probably suffice for the non-system bits
and a similar method may be employed perhaps in 'var' at boot or something for the system bits.. unsure about that however.
Simply put a large %age of the nice to haves are now seemingly within reach. if we had a million monkeys I suspect we could start to catch up quite rapidly now with the raspbian crew.
there are only a couple of gotchas preventing utter kindle domination.
A correctly configured injection of the awesome window manager in Buildroot sounds like a fairly awesome idea. Zomg I don't vote I do that. Gah...
I shouldn't type out loud.
Anyways... back to the underlying injection issue.
If ANYONE reading this has any ideas - jump in right now - if you don't want to go public simply PM me.
No one person comprehends all of the possibilities that are afforded to us:
Some of us don't even get the basics
Much obliged.
