Summary:                    DirectFB Makefile does not support 1.0.x / 1.2.x and
Examples not supported
Description: 
DirectFB makefile supports out of date version and does not support the
building of examples. 
This patch adds support for 1.0.X and 1.2.x building and DirectFB examples
as well

Is there a reason to support multiple versions? If possible, we would
rather avoid having to choose versions and keep the latest one only.

Yes, The DirectFB API version has moved on.  DirectFB 1.2 is the latest
version but some packages will not compile against DirectFB 1.2.  
Where I work we are moving to DirectFB 1.2.X but the transition window
means supporting both in the short term.
With a completely new DirectFB (DFB 2.0) being planned for the future that
will will change the API significantly then we will need support for DFB1.X
vs DFB2.X anyway so this change will again be useful then.
I am in no position to move buildroot to 1.2.x series but require support
for it.
This seemed the best option.

DirectFB support has recently been improved. Could you rebase your patch
against the latest Buildroot version ?

examples are in now and DirectFB updated with thanks to Thomas.  
Will close this.
