[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/omxplayer: new package

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

OMXplayer uses openMAX on the RPi to play videos with hardware acceleration.

Compared to using a gstreamer pipe, OMXplayer uses a complete "tunnel-mode",
in which the video is pipped (after demuxing) into the hardware, all the way
down to the display, whereas gstreamer composes the video using the eglgles
sink, which uses mem-to-mem copies.

So, OMXplayer can cope with Full-HD videos (1080p), when gstreamer can only
handle 720p, with 1080p being jerky (frames are dropped).

When playing a locally-stored 1080p video, OMXplayer uses around 20% CPU,
while gstreamer bursts up to 40+% when playing 720p; all on an non
overclocked RPi.

+	  OMXPlayer is a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry Pi. It was
+	  developed as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation
+	  and is quite handy to use standalone.

+Makefile.include: clean up the cruft
+
+Most of the variables that Makefile.include tries to set (and fails to),
+are already available from Buildroot's variables:
+  - AR, AS, CC, CXX, OBJDUMP...
+  - CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS...
+
+This leaves us with a few select variables that defines (include and
+library) paths local to the omxplayer package, plus a few optimisations.
