 OpenWrt Buildroot:
- - Removed nconf, gconf, tests and kernel configuration targets.
+ - Removed gconf, tests and kernel configuration targets.
  - Adjusted the Makefile to compile outside the kernel.
  - Always use default file when running make all{no,mod,yes}config.
  - Added a 'reset' command to reset config when the target changes.
