This is currently based off of the version found in U-Boot 1.3.1.


Can we rename it either "ubootimage" or "mkuboot" or something else that tells the user what kind of image it is? (It is, in particular, not bzImage, which is probably the first thing that someone who sees "image" in a arch-generic part of the Linux kernel tree will think.)
