Since I've already been involved in that one, I'll handle it.
It needs a bit of a refresh.

I'm not sure we need that one. We already have:
  - host-dosfstools to generate (empty) fat filesystems in a image file;
  - host-mtools to add files to a fat filesystem, and it works with
    image files.

For example, I use it as thus:
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/git/buildroot.config/tree/scripts/genimages.d/fs/vfat

So I suggest we just drop makebootfat, there's no need to duplicate our
host packages.

Yann E. MORIN.
