Where should he detect this? On the build host? Who says the target
uses the same kernel / MTD version? Who says you always want to build
for the same kernel / MTD version? 

I think auto-detection is basicly impossible (at least without making
the build depending on  the  knowledge  of  a  "corresponding"  Linux
kernel   tree,   and   I   think   Markus'   new   approach  is  more
straightforward.

Agreed for README. The wiki cannot be "patched" like this. We can
Markus only make promise that he will update the information there,
too.
