Summary:                    configure option for local package mirror
Description: 
It would be nice to have an option for buildroot pull packages from a local
mirror. This feature would allow users to run a fresh buildroot build
without an internet connection. It requires the addition of a
configuration option. It also requires a few lines below the "..._SITE:="
stuff in every package's makefile.

I've attached a patch that adds a BR2_PACKAGE_MIRROR option to
target/device/Config.in.mirrors. The patch adds support for the option to
uClibc, and busybox. This patch is just an example of how this feature
could be added to a couple of packages.

The code to add the feature is fairly simple; however, it requires
touching every package makefile.
