As Linus likes to say: easier done than said. I pulled the sources
off the EBSDK CD-ROM and it was fairly straight forward to get them to
compile under Linux (that stuff is so well & portably written, one can
hardly speak of porting). As the sources are freely distributable, I
put together both the sources and a binary for "makerom". It's all in:
ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sys/milo-tools-0.0.tar.gz
The tar-file is about 100KB in size.

PS: I tested the utility by comparing it's output with the output produced
by the OSF/1 binary and they are, fortunately, identical.
