Dear Samuel Martin,

I am wondering about the name BR2_PATH. Normally, BR2_<something> is
used for variables coming from Kconfig options. Introducing the
BR2_PATH variable, which doesn't come from a Kconfig option seems to
violate this unwritten rule.

That being said, we can't call the variable just PATH, so I'm not sure
which name we should choose. BR_PATH ? BUILDROOT_PATH ? PKG_PATH ?
