Thanks, we applied your patch, but with a much simplified version.
Since having <pkg>-reinstall-{images,host,staging,target} was probably
not necessary, we just implemented one <pkg>-reinstall target, that
reinstalls whatever the package wants to install. This allows to make
the implementation a lot more similar to the <pkg>-rebuild and
<pkg>-reconfigure implementations.

See
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=b7bc44d22d0fddde7c964a2fd259775ea8d0bf9f
for the final commit.

Thanks!

Thomas
