Cool. I'll review later but another thing we need to do so AMI can
integrate the changes is a make pflash_dist rule or something that
creates a pflash-version.tar.gz that has all the source code that
pflash needs and a Makefile appropriate for building it standalone
(the old pflash standalone Makefile). Basically reproduce something
like

http://ozlabs.au.ibm.com/~benh/pflash-0.8.6.tar.gz

>From the source tree. We should also bump the version when we are
happy to do a release. I'd like to release 1.0 after I check a couple
of other things (for example -b isn't working on some machines so we
can't use it to wipe the BMC flash, not a huge deal but ...).

Cheers,
Ben.
