David, kindly, suggested I send the code to him and he would have a look before integrating it into the CVS system. I have not sent it to David as there are restrictions which would not make it suitable for all.

At some time I will look into how I can change the SSFDC layer to interface properly to mtd/nand. As my frig seems to work for now I am inclined to go with it, unless you think this otherwise.
