[Tsp-devel] BB: new dump & load features

[Frederik Deweerdt]

Hi,

The CVS repo contains two new features for the blackboard:
- An option to dump the bb in a given format, you can now run:
        $ bb_tools dump bb_simu xml
  and the you'll get and xml version of the BB structure
  Additionaly, an md5 sum is displayed to ensure the integrity of the
  dumped contents.
  ("classic" instead of "xml", or the absence of the format argument
  will display the BB the usual way)

- An option to load an xml file into the blackboard.
  1) If the BB does not exist, we create it and fill it with the
  values given in the xml file.
  2) If the BB exists, then only the values will be restored
  The syntax is:
        $ bb_tools load newbb myconf.xml
  (myconf.xml has been generated by a call to bb_tools dump)

Note that you need openssl libraries for the md5 sum, and libxml2 for
the xml format.
Ideas and reports of success or failure are welcomed :)
