Tony,

Pursuant to our IRC discussion, I've added support for a broadcom patch
directory in Hardy LRM. Please respin your broadcom update assuming
broadcom/patches/0001-MODULE_LICENSE.patch will get applied at
unpack-stamp time.

in the future, please add any external patches to broadcom/patches that
we may wish to carry out-of-band to the Broadcom tarball.

Brad - since you touched Hardy LRM last, please apply the same 3 patches
to Intrepid/Jaunty LRM.

UBUNTU: [Config] Don't 'cp -al' when creating build directories.
UBUNTU: [Config] Respect a broadcom patch directory if it exists.
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Patch broadcom MODULE_LICENSE
