Summary:                    Adds the ability to select dmidecode as part of the
buildroot system.
Description: 
I have a yet to be released open source project that requires dmidecode to
be loaded on the system and pull the serial number of the machine out of
the BIOS.  Since I'm using busybox/buildroot to create my boot image, I
thought it would be nice to give back to the community ;)

So I've added the ability to wget dmidecode and compile it in to the
current buildroot.  Also thanks for the documentation, that made it all
possible.

FYI: I'm not sure how well this will cross compile, but it's fine on x86
architectures.

Can you please send a complete
$ svn diff package/ > ~/buildroot.add-dmidecode.patch
to the list?

TIA,

uploaded the diff...  Since there have been so many revisions ahead, you
will probably have to make dmidecode fit in a better category.

Maybe something more along the lines of the following from today's
