OK, I've done some more poking at the specific problem I found and,
well, we're doing everything right and I don't have a solution, but I
think this patch moves us forward. Based on what I'm seeing so far,
new U_BOOT_CMDs would be removed correctly, including strings. Or be
fixed when I fix the current problem.
