Yann E. MORIN 5f186a3a22 docs/manual: always point to the correct license file
The manual is GPL-2, and points to the COPYING file in the repository.
When we do a rendering of the manual for a specific version, that URL
is currently always poitning to the latest version of the COPYING file.

If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new
exception, more clarifications, a license change, or whatever), then
an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be
incorrect.

Include the sha1 of the commit in the URL, so that the manual always
point to the tree at the time the manual was rendered, not the time
it is consulted. Contrary to the informative text above, use the full
sha1, not the shortened one.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
