After the release of V1.1.5 I was able to crosscompile BIRD using the
OpenWRT buildsystem without my "hack".

Further I figured out how to handle the readline dependency.

It seems a user has to say "/etc/init.d/bird enable" to set a permanent
symlink to /etc/rc.d which will enable BIRD at startup.

Looking closer into the buildsystem I still have some questions:
- It might be worth to split "bird" and "birdc" into two packages since
birdc depends on libncurses and libreadline which takes much space on a
router. What do you think?
- Do I have to compile "birdc6 (or bird6c?)" if I want to provide the
"bird6"-package or is the client the same for IPv4 and IPv6?

The current Makefile looks like this:
----------
include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk

PKG_NAME:=bird
PKG_VERSION:=1.1.5
PKG_RELEASE:=1

PKG_SOURCE:=bird-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird
PKG_MD5SUM:=87e005d258198d9ee4e4481164bf8c18

PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS:=libreadline

PKG_BUILD_DIR:=$(BUILD_DIR)/bird-$(PKG_VERSION)

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

define Package/$(PKG_NAME)
  SECTION:=net
  CATEGORY:=Network
  TITLE:=The BIRD Internet Routing Daemon
  URL:=http://bird.network.cz
  DEPENDS:=+libncurses +libreadline
endef

        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/doc/bird.conf.example

        $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/bird $(1)/usr/sbin/
        $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/birdc $(1)/usr/sbin/
endef

$(eval $(call BuildPackage,$(PKG_NAME)))

Any comments?
