Alright, I understand that it is not buildroot's mission to replace the 
documentation of the underlying tools/packages. I can take all of that 
information out if that would help if wanted. I guess I was just offering 
this up as an alternative to Environment image when browsing through the 
menuconfig. 

At the end of the day if you don't feel this is best to be in buildroot, 
I'm fine with leaving this out as I spent all of 10 minutes on 
implementing this so I don't have much invested in this.

Thanks,
-Ryan
