This revision fixes the build with recent kernel versions, which have
seen changes in the MMC framework breaking the build of external SDIO
drivers.

Instead of hardcoding again the version of the package when defining
WF111_SOURCE, this commit changes the WF111_VERSION so that it
contains the entire version number, and then modifies the WF111_SOURCE
definitions to use WF111_VERSION.

When installing the WF111 modules, the module.* files generated during
the kernel compilation were overridden. This ended up having the wrong
information about the modules compiled in a given image (and only the
one about the WF111 module). This could be verified using the
"modprobe -l" command, with only the wf111 module showing up.
This patch fixes this by invoking the install_static target (which
will do both the build and installation) in WF111_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS.
This way the files are not overridden but instead updated with the
additional WF111 informations.

Adds support for the BlueGiga WF111 WiFi driver and the binary utilities
distributed alongside the driver. An account is required to download the
sources from the BlueGiga website, which can be created freely. The
driver is available for armv5, arm7a and i386.
Since it is not possible to automatically retrieve the sources, because
of the required user account needed on the BlueGiga website, an option
is added to let the Buildroot user specify the directory where the
driver tarball was downloaded.
Finally, two options must be selected in the Linux kernel configuration:
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV. These are blind options (i.e.
not selectable directly) so they cannot be enabled by a change in
linux/linux.mk. The user as two choices to enable these options:
- By making them non blind, with a "WF111 support" configuration entry
for example.
- By enabling another WiFi driver that select them.
