. smdev (suckless clone of busybox mdev, not quite complete...)
git.suckless.org/smdev/

. nldev (netlink daemon that calls the hotplug helper; needs mdev/smdev)
git.r-36.net/nldev/

. hotplug2
code.google.com/p/hotplug2/

procd (which according to the very sparse documentation has incorporated
the functionality of hotplug2) is not a viable option outside OpenWRT,
as far as I can tell.

I know I've seen a small old hotplugger somewhere, but don't remember
the name (think it might have been uhotplug or something similar...)
