You should never duplicate code. If you are aware that you  diplicate
one  forle for another port, you should always use common code. There
are many examples for this; for example, type:

	-> ls -d board/*/common

in the U-Boot source directory.

You should nevcer duplicated files.

Please do not explicitely set the "From:" and "Return-path:"  headers
to an address you don't want to see used.
