Hello,

Thanks a lot for your contribution! Your patch looks mostly good,
there are only a few nits, see below. Could you address them and send
an updated version ?

Please add an entry to the top-level DEVELOPERS file for this package.
Also, please add a package/pdmenu/pdmenu.hash file.

Use alphabetic ordering for the list of packages.

Use "select" instead of "depends on" here. As a consequence, you have
to replicate the "depends of" that BR2_PACKAGE_SLANG has. So:

	depends on BR2_USE_MMU # slang
	select BR2_PACKAGE_SLANG

You should have run your package through ./utils/check-package, it
would have told you that the indentation for the help text is one tab +
two spaces, and that lines should be wrapped at the 72th column.

Please add the comment header that we have in all packages. Yes, it's
useless and silly, but we have it everywhere :)

Otherwise, looks good. Could you send an updated version?

Thanks a lot!
