 Actually I think a lot more should move to support. For instance, pkg-* is
actually not just for packages but also for linux, bootloaders, toolchain. And
even package/Makefile.in (with a better name then :-).

 If you agree that more stuff should move to support, I think there should be a
new directory support/make or support/mk.

 BTW, why didn't the rename detection catch this? Did you change too much? In
that case, perhaps it's better to do it in two patches? :-P
