Thanks Uwe!

To that end, here's our current status.  If anybody out there is 
bored, pick a feature and start rewriting (or borrow from *BSD).

These are the files of questionable license status from FILO - these need
to be replaced:

./libc/malloc.c
./include/elf_boot.h
./include/arch/io.h
./i386/context.c
./i386/context.h
./i386/segment.c
./i386/segment.h
./i386/switch.S

These are files of known status (all GPLv2) that have been borrowed from
various projects.  These either need to be replaced with BSD versions,
or permission acquired to relicense them:

./libc/memory.c (from coreboot-v3)
./libc/string.c (from coreboot-v3)
./libc/printf.c (from the kernel)
./libc/ipchecksum.c (from coreboot-v3)
./include/checksum.h (from coreboot-v3)
./drivers/serial.c (from coreboot-v3)
