New wpa_supplicant package take 1

While working on my own stuff i found there was no wpa_supplicant package.
This patch adds the wpa_supplicant package (latest stable version - 0.5.11).
I'm calling it "take 1" since EAP is included by default, though making it an option would make for a messy config & mk file since there are lots of options in there. Also there's no possibility to enable/disable drivers, the default ones are enabled (wired, wext, hostap & atmel). Someone may be interested in enabling one of the others - i have no way of testing them.
Installing the different binaries is optional for wpa_cli and wpa_passphrase, obviously wpa_supplicant is always installed otherwise there would be no point in this ;-)
And the TLS implementation can be openssl (smaller binary but requires openssl, if it's already included it's a win) or internal (bigger binary, not so well tested, doesn't need openssl though so it may be a size win in some scenarios).
Tested with linux wext driver with a zd1211rw on arm.
Enjoy.

Thanks, will look closer into it after the 2009.02 release.

New wpa_supplicant package take 2


Added the EAP enable/disable option to make things lighter when it's not wanted.
Also made some menu descriptions nicer.
Size for each variant:

314444 bytes for wpa_supplicant with EAP-internal
258396 bytes for wpa_supplicant with EAP-openssl
205040 bytes for wpa_supplicant without EAP

New wpa_supplicant package take 3

Take 3: honour CFLAGS and use version 0.6.8 (new stable upstream) instead of 0.5.11 (old stable).

Take 4: converted to Makefile.autotools.in
Not so different since wpa_supplicant isn't autotools-based, just cleaner.
