I'd prefer not to add this to the generic skeleton, and instead have
the Transmission installation process create this symlink.

default n is not needed, as this is the default.

Not needed.

I'm not sure "default yes" works, we use "default y" everywhere.

Hum, this will stall the boot process quite a bit. We don't have any
other solution ?

(I think for the initial introduction of transmission to Buildroot,
it's ok, since it won't be a regression, but in the long run, having
such scripts doesn't really look nice).

Remove --prefix=/usr, that's the default.

Remove $(DISABLE_NLS) and $(DISABLE_LARGEFILE), that's the default.

To know what the default options are, look at:
 http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/Makefile.autotools.in#n88

The rest looks good to me.
