Using an '@' in the version string breaks the gcc/glibc/gdb manuals.
Use a scheme similar to Debian, with a plus '+' instead of the '@',
as suggested by Michael Hope.

As we use the directory names as Makefile targets, they can not contain any
column ':', or else make will complain about 'multiple target patterns'.
Replace the offending ':' with a dash '-', as Titus suggested.

Some projects are using (or planning to use) crosstool-NG, and are storing
it in their VCS, which might not be Mercurial. At the same time, those
projects may want to track development snapshots versions the way we do
with the Hg identity string (hg id).
Provide a way for these project to do so, without having to patch
./configure, and maintain that patch over-and-over again.

Currently, we check host feature in ./configure. This works only for
cross toolchains, but not for canadian toolchains. ./configure has
absolutely no way to know what the host for the toolchain will be;
only the build scripts know.
So, move the headers & libraries checks from ./configure to the build
scripts, early enough in the build, but not before we know the host
compiler and other tools.

Some packages are available as LZMA tarballs. LZMA is a relatively recent
compression algorithm; it's slightly better than bzip2, but offers much
faster decompression. LZMA is now deprecated in favor of XZ, but some
packages switched to LZMA when XZ was not yet available, or still in its
infancy. Latest XZ (which totaly obsoletes LZMA) offers a backward LZMA-
compatible utility, so we can check for 'lzma' nonetheless.

Some upstream now release tarballs compressed with xz, along with the
more traditional bzip2 and/or gzip tarballs. xz (and its predecessor
lzma) achieves better compression, so is a good candidate to shorten
the time it takes to download the source tarballs.
Enable downloading xz-cmopressed tarballs if the user has xz-utils.

svn is needed to download eglibc from the upstream repository.
In some situations, though, it can happen that:
- the developpers' machines do not have svn
- a LAN mirror has been set-up with pre-downloaded eglibc tarballs
In this case, it makes sense not to hard-depend on svn.
So, if svn is missing, just say so, and add a comment in the
menuconfig.

Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will
build successfully, but lacking some features.
Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target
description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB
warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
Hence, expat should be considered mandatory.
On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so
python should not be considered mandatory.
This patch does the following:
- At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing.
- In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no
static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is
missing.

Currently, error messages just state the obvious: a required
component is required. While in some cases, there is not much
else to say, in some other cases we could tell much more.
For example, a missing libstdc++ means no static toolchain.
Also, format error and warning messages in a similar fashion,
with a {error,warning} intro, followed by the message specified
by the caller.

Hide the staticaly linked libstdc++ option if the static libstdc++ is not
present, detected at configure time.
Add a blind option that says whether static linking is possible at all.
It defaults to 'y', but depends on the needed CONFIGURE_* options. For
now, it only depends on static libtdc++, but new dependencies can be
easily added.
Hide the global static toolchain option behind this new option.

If check_for is able to find the required prog/inc/lib, allow it to
set an arbitrary variable to 'y'. This variable is then pushed down
to the kconfig definition.
For example:
has_or_abort prog=foobar kconfig=has_foobar
If foobar is available, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to y:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool
default y
If foobar is missing, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to n:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool
Thus it is possible to depends on that variabel to show/hide options:
config SOME_FEATURE
bool
prompt "Some feature"
depends on CONFIGURE_has_foobar

When configuring in an hg clone, we need hg to compute the version string.
It can happen that users do not have Mercurial (eg. if they got a snapshot
rather that they did a full clone). In this case, we can still run, of
course, so simply fill the version string with a sufficiently explicit
value, that does not require hg. The date is a good candidate.
