Luca Ceresoli fc832dd126 cmake: add documentation about how it is built
Commit 7b17bafc5d by Davide Viti has a
detailed explanation of some unusual techniques used for building
host-cmake and (target-)cmake. This is useful information for whoever
starts hacking on it, so copy it in the makefile, where it will be
easily noticed.

Also remove the sentence about host-cmake having a runtime dependency
on host-pkgconfig (not true anymore: it's the specific cmake-packages
that depend on it) and fix typos.

README

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.
