Yann E. MORIN d4db4277ff manual: get rid of the lists of packages
We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
  - the non-virtual target packages,
  - the virtual target packages,
  - the host packages,
  - the deprecated features.

Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.

After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.

We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

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.
