directfb-csource is very similar to gdk-pixbuf-csource. It creates
header files from images so that they can easily be embedded into the
binary. I do make use of this in one of our packages. At some point I
even plan to release this code under the LGPL, but for now its closed. 

Of course I would prefer if the change could be upstream in buildroot,
but if you don't want to add it, then we can maintain it in our branch.

The other tools are actually useful on the target, but not likely useful
on the host. directfb-csource is the only code-generation tool in there.
