[Etherboot-developers] upx compressor/decompressor...

[Eric W B. <ebi...@ln...>]

Yeah!  I have just incoporated the nrv2b algorthim from
upx into etherboot.  And I have built an image with
all of the etherboot drivers.

-rwxrwxr-x    1 eric     eric        64912 Aug 21 02:52 bin32/etherboot.nrv2bimg
$ size bin32/unnrv2b.o      
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    180       0       0     180      b4 bin32/unnrv2b.o

In it's final form the overhead for the nrv2b decompressor is just
180 bytes and should handle any size of file.  The 32bit infrastructure
is now an advantage instead of a liability size wise.

I will be adding targets etherboot, etherboot-pci, and etherboot-isa
shortly and then checking this code in.
