Michel,

I've had it on my todo list to get the u-boot stuff working for powerpc
too...  However, I remember a brief comment from John Williams that
you'd separated the BSP generation process more.  Details (or better
yet, code and patches) would be appreciated, here, since I'm a bit
swamped at the moment.

Steve
