Dingux News - Linux for Dingoo A320 - System and toolchain updated

As usual, get it from the google code page download section (still uploading at the time of writing this post, so maybe you'll have to wait a bit, my upstream here is tiny).

ChangeLog (for the system):

Backported from kernel 2.6.24.6 fix for usb ethernet gadget. Now Windows RNDIS driver works (but ethernet communication is still broken and will fail a few seconds after starting and high bandwidth transfer via FTP).
Patched SDL so SDL_NOMOUSE=1 is no longer necessary.
Updated to busybox-1.14.2 + current patches.
Added symlink /etc/TZ ---> /usr/local/etc/timezone
Automatic creation of default subdirectories in /usr/local.
Automatic creation of default /usr/local/etc/timezone.
The only differences in the toolchain is that the I changed the owner to root before packing (the first release was owned by my user) and that the included SDL library also no longer needs SDL_NOMOUSE, but since this is only a problem when running in the A320 itself, if your application is dynamically linked you probably don't need to download the new toolchain.

I intended to fix the HOME=/ problem. Actually that default value is set by init, so the only way to change it was changing the init code which I felt was not the right thing to do. So the workaround of using a shell script as /usr/local/sbin/main and setting HOME=/usr/local/home there is still necessary. If you want to save some memory, remember to use "exec" to execute your menu application, because if you just call your executable you'll leave a whole shell sitting in memory and doing nothing but waiting for your process to exit.
