excellent, this just gets better and better.  however, will partition
definitions on the command line override those in rpxlite.c?  i notice
that the generic rpxlite.c that comes from the bk tree has a default
partition definition of fe000000/800000.  should that be removed
first?  or will it be ignored?  it's not clear from the comments in
the source.
