[RFC] Add a configuration header to MLO

[Jason Kridner]

I'd like to start getting configuration headers on builds of MLO. What is
the right way to do this?

you need to modify the build step to add 1. - look at panda's build step.

I forgot to copy this list on my updated post: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/x-loader/esbsB6PtN8g/_-MShS8KERwJ

Also, I need to read git-send-email on how to put these in attachments when they are final such that they can be pulled easily from the archive.  Let me know if the patch is hard to pull down, despite the fact it is trivial.

you do not need to attach the patch, you just need to git send-email the
patch to this list, if you are interested in it being incorporated.

btw, does your patch still retain the old behavior of allowing MLO to be
kept in boot enabled vfat partition?

how about this new strategy handling multiple types of SD cards?
