So this is how far I got.

Tom, your idea with making this multi-config aware (U-Boot, SPL and TPL) 
does not seem to work as 'tools' are only built once, not once per 
U-Boot/SPL/TPL. So if we wanted to use this for TPL, too, that would 
either mean create yet another tool or pass an option to this new tool 
to differ between SPL and TPL.

Regard,
Simon
