I have applied your changes. I had to make a change on PATCH 1/3,
because the systemd init choice was visible even if the requirements
for the systemd package were not met (thread support and
udev-based /dev).

Also, it would be good to investigate the newer versions of systemd. If
I remember correctly, they integrate udev directly, but is it possible
to still have udev separately? This of course will not be for 2012.08,
but it would be nice to continue to integrate those technologies into
Buildroot.

Also, in the testing I've done with the vexpress Qemu target, I have
not been particularly impressed by the boot speed, but I should
probably try on a real target.

And final comment: it seems lighttpd is started even before the web
server is accessed. Wasn't systemd supposed to start such daemons
on-demand? Or maybe lighttpd does not have the necessary code to
support such kind of startup where the already opened socket is passed
by systemd?

Thanks!
