I would rather than we use a tool to pack the microcode together (e.g.
ifdtool) rather than changing the source data. I realise that the FSP
requires this packing, but I quite dislike the approach of making the
source files fit the object files.

If you like I can take a look at adding this feature to ifdtool.

Regards,
Simon
