move package/linux into target/linux, use wbx' new kernel code. support building images with more than one kernel, split kernel module parts off of packages that use their own kernel modules (fuse, shfs, openswan). some cleanup in the image building process in target/. image builder is disabled for now, needs some fixing.

+Description of kernel patches in patches:
+
+000-linux_mips.patch
+ This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.30 and linux-mips.org kernel
+ (CVS tag 2_4_30 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has
+ newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.30 especially for the mips architecture.
+
+001-bcm47xx.patch
+ This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball.
+ There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.30 kernel.
+ The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20.
+
+002-wl_fix.patch
+ The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only.
+ This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some
+ of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul.
+ This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get
+ the driver working with newer kernels.
+
+003-squashfs.patch
+ Support for the squashfs filesystem. It has better compression ratio then cramfs.
+
+004-squashfs_lzma.patch
+ LZMA Addon patch from Oleg I. Vdovikin for the squashfs filesystem.
+ Even better compression ratio.
+
+005-jffs2_compression.patch
+ Compression for jffs2 filesystem.
+
+100-ebtables.patch
+ Filtering packets on ethernet layer. See http://ebtables.sf.net
+
+101-netfilter_ipp2p.patch
+ Netfilter ipp2p match module (matches traffic of most P2P networks)
+
+102-netfilter_layer7.patch
+
+103-netfilter_nat_pptp.patch
+ NAT support for PPTP and GRE
+
+104-netfilter_maxconn.patch
+
+105-netfilter_TTL.patch
+ Netfilter target for manipulating the TTL of IP packets
+
+106-mppe_mppc.patch
+ Microsoft PPP Encryption/Compression
+
+107-cifs.patch
