Well, in theory you should wrap your ubifs image with ubinize to get
"raw" contents which should be flashable with the standard nand write
commands (or any other flashing method).

Note however that I did not (yet) test this theory, so keep us posted
how reality relates to it ;)

If you know why this number is perfect - you're probably a mathematician...
