kbuild: patch to Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

First off, thanks for the kbuild docs, they are very useful!  Second,
I've attached a patch to modules.txt (from 2.6.14.2) with a "compile"
fix to a Makefile example, and some trivial spelling/grammar nits.
Please let me know if you want the patch in some other format (eg not
MIME), or if I should go bother someone else about it.

 of modules. The author of an external modules should supply
 a makefile that hides most of the complexity so one only has to type
-'make' to buld the module. A complete example will be present in
+'make' to build the module. A complete example will be present in
