A runtime config would be nice.

Something that once occurred to me as a Good Idea would be some way of getting 
the mtd to spit out a wee "config" that mkyaffs2image could read at runtime

These things would all be helpful and it would be good if someone could give 
that a go. I just don't have the time right now.
