[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Updated package download address. Added staging option so that applications that depend on rtai's headers may be built by buildroot. Re-directed the include dir to /usr/include/rtai.

Technically no. I did it all with 4.0, but we agreed that changing the version 
number should be a separate patch. Although I don't think there would be a 
problem applying the same changes to 3.9 (I am very sure the project 
infrastructure is identical) I do see the need to test this first. I'm not 
quite in a position to test it at the moment.

what are the next steps, do I resubmit with changes in exactly the same way?  
i initially submitted?
