+# WAF package infrastructure
+#
+# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of package
+# .mk files for WAF packages. It should be used for all packages that use
+# WAF as their build system.
+#
+# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
+# infrastructure
+#
+# In terms of implementation, this WAF infrastructure requires the .mk file
+# to only specify metadata information about the package: name, version,
+# download URL, etc.
+#
+# We still allow the package .mk file to override what the different steps
+# are doing, if needed. For example, if <PKG>_BUILD_CMDS is already defined,
+# it is used as the list of commands to perform to build the package,
+# instead of the default WAF behaviour. The package can also define some
+# post operation hooks.

+# inner-waf-package -- defines how the configuration, compilation and
+# installation of a waf package should be done, implements a few hooks
+# to tune the build process for waf specifities and calls the generic
+# package infrastructure to generate the necessary make targets
+#
+# argument 1 is the lowercase package name
+# argument 2 is the uppercase package name, including a HOST_ prefix
+# for host packages
+# argument 3 is the uppercase package name, without the HOST_ prefix
+# for host packages
+# argument 4 is the type (target or host)
