For the records, I've posted an updated series:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-January/117642.html

Care to see if it is posible to update your series to use the Khronos
registry/ies? If so, it would great if you could review/ack the patches
so they get applied soon, so you can in turn repost an updated series of
yours! ;-)

/me is trying to get some reviewers interested! Muhahaha! ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
