Dear Jeremy Kerr,

I've applied your patch, with a few corrections (see below).

Here I've added the URL of the upstream project on SourceForge.

Here instead of CC=$(TARGET_CC) and LD=$(TARGET_LD), I've used
$(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS), which also ensures CFLAGS and al. are passed.
This required adding another patch to the package so that our CFLAGS
can be passed from the environment and can be added with the
package-specific CFLAGS.

And I've replaced that my using the "make install" target of the
package Makefile, which was doing the same thing. "make install" is
also installing manpages, which is probably why you didn't use it, but
Buildroot anyway automatically removes documentation from the target,
such as manpages. Therefore, we prefer to use the package "make
install", which is more likely to continue to work in the future.

Thanks!
