Indeed, mkenvimage is useful.

However:

 *) Could you send a proper git patch, with a description,
 Signed-off-by line, and sent using git send-email so that it doesn't
 get line-wrapped by your mail client.

 *) I would like to see an option being added in the U-Boot
 configuration options to pass a txt file containing an environment
 definition, which would be passed through mkenvimage to generate an
 image environment, and then installed in $(BINARIES_DIR). Could you
 cook such a patch, or do you prefer if someone else does it?

Thanks,

Thomas
