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

[Floris Bos]

Hi,

First of all note that I also submitted an ipmitool patch last month: 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/378793/
I don't care which one gets merged (anything is better than having to 
maintain local packages), but you might want to take a look at it.

Note that ipmitool depends on openssl for crypto functions, and if you 
really want to have the interactive ipmishell functionality (instead of 
just calling ipmitool as command line utility) you also needs readline.

License is BSD-3c

Also note that ipmitool installs both ipmitool and ipmievd by default.
Most people only use ipmitool though, so have an option to remove 
ipmievd in my package.
Might be something you might also consider.
