Agreed.

I don't quite agree here. The location of the package in the menu has
nothing to do with the location of the package .mk file and directory.
So if the libfslcodec is downloaded from the same site and with the
same version as the other package/freescale-imx/ stuff and therefore
re-use the same variables, it could very well be moved under this
directory.
