As I said in a previous email, I use the host package and asked for
guidance for including host packages or not. I didn't see a response.
While I certainly don't mind removing it, it would be nice to know why
host packages are such a problem. For me, it is very convenient that
Buildroot requires so little of the host Linux environment to work.
Libsodium, in particular, is annoying since you can't apt-get install
it in Ubuntu 12.04. I know that's old, but it's around. Anyway, that's
my 2 cents. It will be gone for v3...
