abuild -- needs discussion; will it work for v3 eventually?
No, I think we want to migrate this to use Jordan's buildrom instead and thus lower the complexity and number of tools that can be used to build LinuxBIOS images. Less tools, better tools.
Good idea, I like it. So abuild stays in v2 for now?
yepp.

Not sure if this is needed anymore. I think it has to do with used files and dependencies.
Drop it? Leave it in v2?
Leave it.

sc520 specific. I doubt we will ever need this outside of v2. AMD replaced the SC520 series with Geode. So since I doubt v3 will ever have sc520 support, this should stay and die with v2.
Well, I wouldn't rule out SC520 support in v3. But will this tool be needed in v3 (if it ever has SC520 support)?
No, it wouldn't.
SC520 is basically dead, and never was really wide spread I think. Of course we don't want to rule out any ports. If someone finds out he needs the tool while doing the port to v3, it can still be moved.
I added this when lxbios was not part of the tree. We can let this bit rot in the v2 tree, but lets not move it on.
OK. Does lxbios support everything lbtdump does? If so I'd even say we remove it.
Not sure if it does. I agree though.
