Midori Linux is a build environment for embeded systems focused on integrating
packages using the GNU development tools rather than moving over binary 
packages.  The uCLinux build system is actually based off Midori I believe, or
at least they have some common ancestors.  They are quite similar.  I haven't 
poked around in uCLinux to see exactly where they differ, but in general Midori
seems to provide a bit more of a packaged interface for building and
customization.  The build is a single step "make" after the configuration files
have been setup properly (something that can be done using a web front end).  I
use Midori for the build system at work.  The project info is at:
