I'm a bit uncertain here, we also don't install ruby or perl or
subversion or git or wget for the user. Yes, fcode-utils is not as
common as all the other utilities but there _are_ packages (e.g. in
Debian) for it, or it can be installed manually from

http://openbios.org/FCODE_suite

I'll also document that in the wiki soon. Maybe it's a good idea to
install them locally in the buildrom build dir if unavailable, but where
do we draw the line in general? Are there some guidelines on what
we install and we expect the user to have installed already (or manually
install it on demand)?
