Samuel Martin 5e84b8b73c manual: rework the whole documentation stub
The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought:
1.  About Buildroot:
     Presentation of Buildroot
2.  Starting up:
     Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot
3.  Working with Buildroot
     Basics to make your work fitting your needs
4.  Troubleshooting
5.  Going further in Buildroot's innards
     Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc
6.  Developer Guidelines
7.  Getting involved
8.  Contibuting to Buildroot
9.  Legal notice
10. Appendix

It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan:
- Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot
- Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself

Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy,
few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section,
and numerous others have been created.

Getting Buildroot
-----------------
Buildroot releases are made approximately every 3 months. Direct Git
access and daily snapshots are also available, if you want more
bleeding edge.
Releases are available at http://buildroot.net/downloads/[].
The latest snapshot is always available at
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/buildroot-snapshot.tar.bz2[],
and previous snapshots are also available at
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/[].
To download Buildroot using Git, you can simply follow the rules
described on the "Accessing Git" page
(http://buildroot.net/git.html[]) of the Buildroot website
(http://buildroot.net[]). For the impatient, here's a quick recipe:
---------------------
$ git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
