I've pushed a set of commits to http://git.buildroot.net/~tpetazzoni/git/buildroot/log/?h=package-infrastructure which shows the current status of my work. Warning: it is currently in an ugly state: documentation not updated, the generic package infrastructure still contains some autotools-specific stuff, the autotools infrastructure ported over the generic infrastructure does not work yet. But it still allows you to see how the .mk files look like for three examples : icu, zlib and olsr (randomly choosen). Please do not pull this branch anywhere except for experimentations, as I will rebase it heavily.
