Yann E. MORIN a88718a952 docs/manual: document the br2-external NAME
Update the manual with the new external.desc mandatory file.

Take the opportunity to add a section listing all mandatory files,
Config.in, external.mk and the new external.desc, instead of just
hinting about them in the external package recipes section.

Change the examples to use the NAME-suffixed variable instead of the
raw BR2_EXTERNAL variable.

Change all references to BR2_EXTERNAL elsewhere in the manual to now
use the 'br2-external tree' terminology.

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.
