 Changes since v3:
 - As recommended by Thomas:
   * cleanup Config.in menu entries

 Changes since v2:
 - As recommended by Yann:
   * spell check
   * use BR autoconf/make/libtool but in SDL package way
   * put optionnal GPM_REMOVE_TEST_TOOLS_FROM_TARGET into ifeq

 Changes since v1:
 - 80x # in gpm.mk banner
 - As recommended by Romain:
   * remove possible circular dependency with ncurses
   * don't allow package selection when BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y
   * fixes headers path when gpm wants to build its dependencies rules

[Buildroot] [PATCH v4] Add gpm (general purpose mouse) server package

Julien, All,

Nitpick: I prefer we "coalesce" the *_HOOKS lines directly below the
define, and add an empty line _fater_ the *_HOOKS (not before liek you
did), like:

    define GPM_RUN_AUTOGEN
        cd $(@D) && PATH=$(HOST_PATH) ./autogen.sh
    endef
    GPM_POST_PATCH_HOOKS += GPM_RUN_AUTOGEN

    GPM_DEPENDENCIES += host-automake host-autoconf host-libtool

It looks more natural to me, otherwise one has to train his eyes to spot
the _HOOKS line.

Besides, in your case, the _HOOKS line is directly tied to another
assignment, which makes it look like they belong to the same 'semantic'
block, so the brain (mine, at least!) automatically skips over it,
desparately looking for the _HOOKS line later in the file... Yes, I'm a
bizare guy, but yet... ;-)

Ditto, remove this empty line

Ditto again.

> +GPM_POST_INSTALL_TARGET_HOOKS += GPM_INSTALL_GPM_ROOT_CONF_ON_TARGET
> +
> +$(eval $(autotools-package))

Anyway, if Peter likes it that way, I won't object much! ;-)

Committed with the minor whitespace fixes pointed out by Yann, thanks!
