	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
	External toolchain improvements: We now build a binary
	toolchain wrapper and install it into HOST_DIR/usr/bin, which
	enforces the correct compiler arguments, making an external
	toolchain as easy to use outside of Buildroot as the internal
	ones are. This also brought a cleanup of CFLAGS, making the
	Buildroot build output easier to read.
	Rootfs device handling improvements: Choice between static
	/dev, devtmpfs and devtmpfs with either mdev or udev.
	Toolchain: More preconfigured codesourcery external
	toolchains, improved Crosstool-NG support, fix for GCC
	snapshot versions, GCC 4.4.6 / 4.5.3, experimental GCC 4.6.0
	support, target-GCC fixes, uClibc fixes, 0.9.32-rc3 support.
	Bootloaders: U-boot 2011.03, Barebox 2011.05.0
	Linux: support for custom kernel image targets, E.G. for
	powerpc builds with embedded device trees.
	Misc fixes for qemu defconfigs, ensuring correct serial
	terminal setup out of the box.

	#3205: Failing chmod when running "make" in buildroot (openssl)...

	#3283: See why nfs-utils needs fakeroot, and convert to autotools
	#3307: synergy fails to build due to missing XTest library
2011.02-rc1, Released February 14th, 2011:
	Fixes all over the tree and new features.
	External toolchain improvements: clarification of the options,
	and introduction of the toolchain profile concept, for
	well-known toolchains. Buildroot is now capable of
	automatically downloading and extracting well-known toolchains
	(for the moment, CodeSourcery ARM, PowerPC, MIPS and SuperH
	toolchains are supported). Crosstool-NG backend updated and
	improved.
	Complete rework of how hardware boards are supported.
	Each board now only has a single defconfig file, and all
	board-specific options have been removed. See
	docs/buildroot.html#board_support for details.
	Added support for the following boards: Mini2440, Qemu ARM
	Versatile, Qemu MIPSel Malta, Qemu PowerPC G3beige, Qemu SH4
	r2d and Qemu x86. The Qemu boards support allows to easily
	build systems that are known to work under Qemu.
	Initial support for Blackfin processors.
	Staging directory moved into $(O)/host/usr/<tuple>/sysroot, in
	preparation for support of SDK. For the same reason, the
	toolchain binaries (cross-compiler and other related tools)
	are now installed in $(O)/host/usr/bin/. The cross pkg-config
	now also automatically returns correct values for cross
	compilation, without needing any environment variables to be
	set.
	Ccache support reworked. Now used for both host and target
	compilation, and cache is stored in ~/.buildroot-ccache.
	Toolchain: uClibc 0.9.32-rc2, several components moved to
	Generic cmake infrastructure, similar to the existing
	GENTARGETS/AUTOTARGETS.
	Support for bzr downloads, next to the existing git/svn support.
	Kconfig infrastructure rebased against 2.6.38-rc3, bringing
	misc fixes. 'xconfig' now uses Qt4 rather than Qt3.
	EXT2 file system size handling improved, UBI image support, fs
	configuration options cleanup, U-Boot/Barebox version bumps.
	Updated/fixed packages: alsa-utils, at, autoconf, automake,
	bash, binutils, bison, busybox, bzip2, cdrkit, cloop, cmake,
	coreutils, cups, dbus, dbus-python, dhcp, directfb,
