Add an upstream URL to the help text in Config.in. This
addresses the 'Missing' URL status in the package stats
web page output.

Just pointing to the source code itself is not that useful. Do we
really need to keep this package? It seems like some completely
outdated stuff. Who uses Redboot partition tables these days ?
In fact, maybe fconfig could also be dropped, it's Redboot related as
well.
Arnout, Peter, what do you think?

At this stage I'm really just trying to clean up some of the noise on the
package stats page - http://autobuild.buildroot.org/stats/
I'm quite happy for you to decide whether the links are useful/appropriate.

I would personally not mind getting rid of them. It is probably getting
close to 15 years since I last used Redboot.

If we're going to remove packages, now is an excellent time to do it: people
have three months to complain about it.
