Hello Atul,

Thanks for this contribution! Looks mostly good, I have a few comments
though, see below.

Initial space at the beginning of each line is not needed.

This package should rather go in the "Fonts, cursors, icons, sounds and
themes" menu, sub-menu "Icons".

License would be more precise with:

	OFLv1.1 (font), MIT (CSS, LESS and Sass files)

> +FONT_AWESOME_LICENSE_FILES = css/font-awesome.css

This is not a license text, it only repeats that it's under OFLv1.1
(font) and MIT (CSS). So I'd say, just don't specify any LICENSE_FILES.

Out of curiosity, can you explain in which situation are the "less" and
"scss" directories useful ?

Comment is not very useful.

We generally use "cp -dpfr" to copy full directories. What about simply:

	mkdir -p $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/font-awesome/
	$(foreach d,$(FONT_AWESOME_DIRECTORIES_LIST),\
		cp -dpfr $(@D)/$(d) $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/font-awesome$(sep))

Could you take into account those comments, and send an updated version?

Thanks a lot!
