Buildroot 2010.02 released

Hi,

Buildroot 2010.02 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2010.02.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2010.02.tar.bz2

After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is out. Significant changes are:

- Generalized package infrastructure (host/non-autotools):
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-November/030600.html
- More host packages are built, so the build doesn't break if they aren't available on the host

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES file for details:

Many thanks to the people contributing to this release:
