In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

xstroke is just a tarball on the avr32linux.org site, the 0.6 version
has been released in April 2004, so we can consider the upstream to be
dead. So let's mark this package as deprecated.

The allyespackageconfig builds have trigerred a link issue on
xstroke. In fact, xstroke must be linked against Xrender, Xext and dl
in addition to the other libraries it was already be linked
against. We fix that by adding a patch that modifies configure.ac and
Makefile.am, and enabling autoreconf for this package.
In addition, since xstroke uses directly Xrender and Xext, we add
those dependencies to the package. In practice, it doesn't change
anything, since some of the xstroke dependencies were already pulling
those libraries, but as xstroke uses directly Xrender and Xext, it
makes sense to have them as dependencies as well.

The avr32linux.org mirror has vanished and is replaced by a spam site
that returns HTML pages for whatever URL you request from it. So the
download helper thinks that download has succeeded, while actually it
failed.
Fortunately, there is still a mirror of the site alive, so we can use
that one.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

Now that <pkg>_INSTALL_TARGET_OPT always defaults to
'DESTDIR=$(TARGET_DIR) install', we can remove the
<pkg>_INSTALL_TARGET_OPT definition from a lot of packages.

gettext needs WCHAR support in the toolchain, and as libglib2 depends on
gettext and lots of stuff depends on libglib2, quite a lot of packages
needs to have their dependencies adjusted.

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no
need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc.
