Sounds very good. I have additional feature requests:

* more than one compiler for the buildroot. I will need gcc 3.4.x for
  2.4 kernel build, 4.1.x or 4.2.x for everything else, including kernel
  2.6. Currently, only one compiler is supported.

* more than 1 source file. Sometimes, packages consists of more than one
  file, i.e. Madwifi. Currently, I solve this by providing the second
  source as complete patch.

Some more requests, but these are the most important ones.

Dirk
