/** \page Page_BuildSystem The LUFA Build System
 *
 *  \section Sec_BuildSystem_Overview Overview of the LUFA Build System
 *  The LUFA build system was originally an attempt at making a set of
 *  re-usable, modular build make files which could be referenced in a LUFA
 *  powered project, to minimize the amount of code required in an
 *  application makefile.
 *
 *  As it turned out to be fairly generic in nature, it was split out into its
 *  own separate project, called DMBS (<i>Dean's Makefile Build System</i>)
 *  which is released into the public domain. LUFA-specific portions of the
 *  LUFA build system extend DMBS, and provide a universal build system for all
 *  LUFA projects.
 *
 *  The latest DMBS project information and documentation can be found at:
 *  https://github.com/abcminiuser/dmbs
 *
 *  DMBS is written in GNU Make, and each module is independent of one-another.
 *
 *  LUFA now uses DMBS for its build system, with some LUFA specific extension
 *  modules.
 *
 *  If you have problems building using LUFA, see \subpage Page_BuildTroubleshooting for resolution steps.

/** \page Page_BuildModule_LUFA_SOURCES LUFA SOURCES extension module for DMBS
 *
 *  The LUFA SOURCES extension more for DMBS provides LUFA specific variables
 *  listing the various LUFA source files required to be build by a project for
 *  a given LUFA module. This module gives a way to reference LUFA source files
 *  symbolically, so that changes to the library structure do not break the
 *  library makefile.
 *
 *  To use this module in your application makefile, add the following code:

 *  include $(LUFA_PATH)/Build/LUFA/lufa-sources.mk

/** \page Page_BuildTroubleshooting Troubleshooting Information
 *
 *  LUFA uses a lot of advanced features of the AVR-GCC compiler, linker, and
 *  surrounding binaries. This can sometimes lead to problems compiling
 *  applications if one of these features is buggy in the version of the tools
 *  used in a build environment. Missing utilities and incorrectly set makefile
 *  configuration options can also result in different errors being produced
 *  when compilation or other operations are attempted. The table below lists a
 *  set of commonly encountered errors and their resolutions.
 *
 *  <table>
 *    <tr>
