[U-Boot-Users] LZMA support (patch)

[Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini]

Hi everyone,

this patch adds the lzma support with the following constraints:

 - it doesn't install the LZMA SDK files. I provide the import_lzma.sh
script to import the needs file from a lzma sdk release
 - the imported lzma sdk files are _not touched_
 - the lzma support is enabled defining the CONFIG_LZMA define
 - I haven't tested this patch
 - Use this patch at your own risk

The patch creates:

 - the lib_lzma directory with the import_lzmasdk.sh script and a simple
front-end to LzmaDecode() fuction
 - the include/lzma directory with some include files to use in the
U-Boot code

modifies:

 - common/do_bootm.c file
 - common/image.c file
 - include/image.h file

Please read the lib_lzma/README.txt file.

Luigi
