Florian Larysch 7aa2c23f42 package/network-manager: make crypto library optional
The network-manager package currently pulls in either gnutls or libnss,
neither of which are very common and it might be the only reason why
they are present on a system.

However, most of NetworkManager works just fine without any cryptography
support, it only seems to be used in test cases and 802.1X support code.

Remove the dependency but use a library if it is present.

Note that this changes the default behavior. If network-manager was the
only package pulling in gnutls, it won't do this anymore and use the
"null" backend. Add a note about this to the manual.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
