I have 2 comments, more related to formal patch submission.

a) Could you please send patches in-lined, best formatted via
"git format-patch" and sent via "git send-email". Otherwise
its harder to review and comment the patches.

b) Split you patch into 2 logically separated patches. One handling
the common "env" files and one handling the Espressobin related
files.

Thanks,
Stefan
