As we're using the sources from the Mercurial repository, and Buildroot
does support retrieving from a Mercurial repository, there is no need
to try (and fail1) getting the archive from the Mercurial built-in
tarball mechanism.
(Note: I was beaten by this because I had a cached copy locally, left
after the previous tvheadend-vampirises-files-from-toher-packages attempt,
that I forgot to delete before testing. Ouch...)

Add an option in the menuconfig to specify a root password.
If set to empty, no root password is created; otherwise, the password is
encrypted using MD5 (MD5 is not the default for crypt(3), DES-56 is, but
MD5 is widely available, not-so-strong, but not-so-weak either).
Add a check for 'mkpasswd' as a new dependency.
[Peter: fix typo/capitilization and simplify logic]

librsvg doesn't *require* Gtk, it can optionally build a Gtk theme
engine, but it is not mandatory. Therefore, we make the Gtk dependency
an optional dependency rather than a hard dependency. This will be
useful as librsvg will become a dependency of libevas-generic-loaders,
used in an EFL context in which building libgtk is not really what we
want.
However, gdk-pixbuf is a mandatory dependency to build librsvg, so we
add this one.

The libevas configure script actually checks the presence of libX11
and libXext, so use those two libraries as the dependencies for the
X11 backend of libevas.

The SVG support requires esvg, which hasn't been released yet. The
recommandation of the EFL developers is to use the SVG loader from the
evas-generic-loaders project.

Creating a symbolic link for the download directory is really not a
useful suggestion, since we have the much better solution of the
BUILDROOT_DL_DIR environment variable. So emphasize this solution
instead, and remove the suggestion of the symbolic link.

The development files for zlib or netpbm are not needed, and neither
is python-xcbgen. None of these are present in the chroot used in the
autobuilders, and anyway if those would be needed, it would be a
Buildroot bug and not something to be mentionned in the documentation.

The FAQ is before the section on package development, and only covers
user issues, not developer issues, so the FAQ entry about 'depends on'
vs. 'select' really doesn't have its place here.
And the 'depends on' vs. 'select' issue is already covered in a later
section, see
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#depends-on-vs-select.

This commit adds a new section
Working with Buildroot
-> Details in configuration
-> Cross-compilation toolchain
that gives a lot of details about our three toolchain backends. It
takes some elements that were previously later in the manual in
"Embedded basics" and in "External toolchain" and combines them with
more details about internal backend and Crosstool-NG backend.
The "Embedded basics" section becomes empty and is therefore
removed. A few elements have been lost in the process, but they were
considered to not be really useful, especially located so far in the
manual.

As discussed with Samuel Martin, there are a few questions about some
Buildroot configuration aspects that come very often on the IRC
channel and on the mailing-list. Topics such as the /dev management
and init systems are often raised.
Therefore, this patch adds a new section that provides details about
the Buildroot configuration possibilities. It does not aim at
replacing the help text of each configuration option, but rather to
complement them by providing more background. Having those
informations in the manual will also make it easier for us to point
newcomers to the right place in the documentation when they have
questions.
Note that this section will replace the "Embedded basics" section that
comes way too late in the manual. This is done in a followup commit.
