crosstool-NG 1.16.0 is out

["Yann E. MORIN" <yann dot morin dot 1998 at free dot fr>]

Hello all!

I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.16.0!

This release has been centered around fixing bugs all over the place, and
updating the components versions, while no new core feature has been added.
So, this version of crosstool-NG should be more stable and reliable.
Anyway, here is a list of the most notable changes:

- samples are now defconfigs: the saved .config are smaller, and it should
  be easier to reuse older .config with new versions
- components have been updated to include all the latest versions:
  - gcc
  - linux
  - eglibc
  - uClibc
  - gdb

This marks the beginning of the 1.16 maintenance branch, and the end of
the previous maintenance branch. As always, comments and suggestions
are most welcome!
