[Buildroot] [RFC] Request for comment for branch for-2012.05/misc-cleanups

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

Hello,

Here is a set of proposal that cleanup/re-organize a few parts of our
main Makefiles. This is just the beginning of a cleanup of Makefile,
package/Makefile.in and some other core parts of the
infrastructure. Before going further, I'd like to see if the direction
I'm taking is something that is considered to be useful and
interesting.

This set of patches is at the Request For Comment state, they are not
yet intended to be committed, I need to do some further testing. The
purpose is really to get some early feedback about them.

Thanks,

Thomas
