Documentation? We don't need no steeenkin' documentation!

I'm NOT a fdt expert.  I simply stood on the experts' shoulders.  To be 
specific, I took David Gibson's libfdt interface library and created a 
"fdt" command on top of that.  As part of that, I adapted some board, 
etc, munging that was done as part of the "bootm" command to use David's 
libfdt as well, instead of the older set of utilities (the older utility 
routines have a kinda funky interface).

If you look at the custodians' page
   <http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/Custodians>
you will see a pointer to my Work In Progress page
   <http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/UBootFdtInfo>

I've just added a background section that is a lot of jump-off links for 
more information.

Note that it's a wiki -- please add improvements!
