documentation: insist more on why output/target/ should not be used
...
A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by
Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is
because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images.
Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm
unsure if users really read the documentation :-)

busybox: invert hide option
...
Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.
Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.

buildroot; move defconfigs to configs/ and print in help

As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.
Furthermore, update documentation to match.

pkgconfig: add pkgconfig package for target
...
The host versions shouldn't be visible in Kconfig, so remove the
reference to BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG everywhere and prefix the host targets
with host-.
At the same time add pkgconfig for the target (E.G. for development) and
let BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG control that package.
Notice: all defconfigs in the tree have been updated, but make sure to
disable the pkgconfig package (unless you want it) if you use an external
config, otherwise you'll end up with pkgconfig and glib2 in the target.

Cut-n-paste strikes again. Change "BusyBox" to say "Buildroot",

ello,
Enclosed is a small documentation update. It adds a section that answers

Erik, could you apply it if you agree with the modifications ?
Thanks,
Thomas
