I use openswan on a distrib that don't require Python actually.
perl is a mandatory build requirement on an LFS system and (could be |is)
used for a web GUI.

with mklibs and not many care of boot floppy size today.

for f in $(cat /tmp/openswan_list); do [ -f $f ] && grep -H '\#\!\/' $f ;
done

etc/rc.d/setup:#!/bin/sh
usr/lib/ipsec/_plutoload:#!/bin/sh
usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun:#!/bin/sh
usr/lib/ipsec/_realsetup:#!/bin/sh

usr/libexec/ipsec/policy:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
usr/libexec/ipsec/setup:#!/bin/sh
usr/libexec/ipsec/verify:#!/usr/bin/perl

So script requirement is actually not that hard.
I run checkbashisms against the /bin/sh scripts and had ulimit and type
warnings.
I checked that busybox support ulimit and even prefer type against which (at
least in my BB config)
