Stefan Reinauer 3fec29cc96 This separates the code for each command in cbfstool. For the good and for the 
bad: It brings a certain amount of code duplication (some of which can be
cleaned up again, or get rid of by proper refactoring).
On the other hand now there's a very simple code flow for each command, rather
than for each operation. ie.

adding a file to a cbfs means:
 - open the cbfs
 - add the file
 - close the cbfs

rather than

open the cbfs:
 - do this for add, remove, but not for create

create a new lar
 - if we don't have an open one yet

add a file:
 - if we didn't bail out before

close the file:
 - if we didn't bail out before


The short term benefit is that this fixes a problem where cbfstool was trying
to add a file if you gave a non-existing command because it bailed out on
known, not on unknown commands.

README 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make
 * python
 * perl

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
-------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
