I read the archives, and I still think that this is a stop backwards. I
was (one of the much) proposing the feature.
If this features is requested each 3 months for different people, could
it be that really, really, our device model is not good enough?
We have three config files:
- config-host.mak
- config-target.mak
- config-devices.mak
First two have a .h associated file, last one don't have it. And people
is requesting it each 3 months.
Later, Juan.
