Don;t we have a better homepage for libsquish? Google code is slated for
retirement later this year (or early next year). It would be a pity to
have a dangling URL especially as we already know about that.

I'm a bit uneasy at pointing to Google code as the homepage, and at the
same time using a third-party to get the archive from, especially since
it looks like this version has been modified by OpenELEC.

You do not provide build commands. Is that on purpose, or did you
forget? ;-)

Please use $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) as it already contains all those
defines, plus many others.

Ditto $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS).
