Hello,

What this patch does is already possible through the "override source
directory" mechanism, which is available for every package.

It's true that the Linux package is special in that it is very likely
that many people will want to use a local source directory, but I'm
fearing that we will end up adding many of those
"<something>_CUSTOM_LOCAL" option that just duplicate what is possible
thanks to the override source directory mechanism.

See http://free-electrons.com/blog/buildroot-2011-11/ for more details
on this source directory override mechanism.

Best regards,

Thomas
