[Buildroot] [1/1] civetweb: new package

[Thomas Davis]

Thanks once again for the reply and the detailed examination.  I will
see about having a non large file option in the civetweb build and
test that separately before continuing.    I will also add the comment
about LUA and sqlite3 not coming from buildroot and move the document
directory as well.

Thanks,
Thomas Davis
