I have the impression that this 'git submodule' thing is used more and
more, and that Buildroot not having support to automatically fetch
submodules is causing troubles to a number of people.
Not later than today, a colleague of mine also asked me about this,
since he is packaging something that uses submodules.
But very often, submodules are used to "bundle" libraries that should
rather be packaged as separate packages.
