[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] cmake: add documentation about how it is built

[Yann E. MORIN]

Luca, All,

On 2016-07-01 17:53 +0200, Luca Ceresoli spake thusly:
> Commit 7b17bafc5d7948aff3059e058ada80ad1fc50500 by Davide Viti has a
> detailed explanation of some unusual techniques used for building
> host-cmake and (target-)cmake. This is useful information for whoever
> starts hacking on it, so copy it in the makefile, where it will be
> easily noticed.
> 
> Also remove the sentence about host-cmake having a runtime dependency
> on host-pkgconfig (not true anymore: it's the specific cmake-packages
> that depend on it) and fix typos.
