[Buildroot] [pull request] Pull request for branch package-infrastructure

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

This patchset :

 * implements a new infrastructure to support all type of packages,
   not only packages relying on the autotools build system. Through
   the new GENTARGETS macro, implemented in
   package/Makefile.package.in, we will be able to write simpler .mk
   files and be able to factorize the common parts of the different
   .mk files. This infrastructure support building both host and
   target packages.

 * rebases the existing autotools infrastructure on top of the new
   generic infrastructure. This rebasing has no impact on the existing
   .mk files for autotools packages. With this rebasing, the autotools
   infrastructure gains the ability to build host packages.

 * simplifies most (if not all) .mk files of autotools-based packages
   that required an host version to be compiled (xutil_makedepend,
   xproto_xproto, pixman, m4, mtd-utils, lzo, libusb, libgtk2, gob2,
   expat, dbus-glib, shared-mime-info, libxml2, freetype, fontconfig,
   directfb, dbus, atk, pango, libtool, libglib2, cairo, automake,
   pkg-config)

 * bumps the version of autoconf to 2.65 and finally fixes the
   host-autoconf build problem when sh is symlinked to dash.

 * converts a few packages to the generic infrastructure (zlib, olsr,
   udev)

 * updates and extends the documentation to cover the new
   infrastructures with examples and reference information

I have tested this patchset in various conditions, but the changes are
sufficiently complicated that I cannot guarantee a bug-free transition
to these infrastructures. That's why I think such changes should be
merge early in the Buildroot development period, so that we have
enough time before 2010.02 to stabilize these changes (and make a
larger use of the new infrastructures).
