2011.05-rc1, Released May 18th, 2011:
	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	External toolchain improvements: We now build a binary
	toolchain wrapper and install it into HOST_DIR/usr/bin, which
	enforces the correct compiler arguments, making an external
	toolchain as easy to use outside of Buildroot as the internal
	ones are. This also brought a cleanup of CFLAGS, making the
	Buildroot build output easier to read.

	Rootfs device handling improvements: Choice between static
	/dev, devtmpfs and devtmpfs with either mdev or udev.

	Toolchain: More preconfigured codesourcery external
	toolchains, improved Crosstool-NG support, fix for GCC
	snapshot versions, GCC 4.4.6 / 4.5.3, experimental GCC 4.6.0
	support, target-GCC fixes, uClibc fixes, 0.9.32-rc3 support.

	Bootloaders: U-boot 2011.03, Barebox 2011.05.0

	Linux: support for custom kernel image targets, E.G. for
	powerpc builds with embedded device trees.

	Misc fixes for qemu defconfigs, ensuring correct serial
	terminal setup out of the box.

	Misc gentarget / autotools handling fixes.

	atk, avahi, bind, bison, busybox, copas, dbus-glib, dhcp,
