The hobbyists working on U-Boot  will ask to have this command
in a their default configuration to simplify their development
process. I will be the first of them to request a user friendly solution.
I will check the 2 solutions: DHCP and "env import" when DHCP
is not applicable.

Thanks for your suggestion.
