[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] ola: new package

[David Skok]

Dear Thomas,

Problem solved.  Details regarding source of problem are too
confounding to explain.  As it happens to be Simon Newton, the source
maintainer was about to release a new version within minutes of me
contacting him and we (he) was able to resolve it prior to the new
release.

Simon asked for and I provided him with details regarding how he can
verify that future development compiles under buildroot as he is aware
of and encourages Open lighting Architecture use in embedded
environments.  Again, thank you for your patience.  I am encouraged to
contribute more in the future where I can.

Dave
