Buildman has been around for a little over a year and is used by a fair number of U-Boot developers. However quite a few people still use MAKEALL.

Buildman was intended to replace MAKEALL, so perhaps now is a good time to start that process.

The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are:

• We don't want to maintain two build systems
• Buildman is typically faster
• Buildman has a lot more features

This series adds a few features to buildman to fill some gaps, adds some information into the README on how to migrate from MAKEALL, and adds a deprecation message to MAKEALL.

I'm testing this out again in the Ubuntu 10.04 / LSF environment I have access to but so far I'm still finding that test for --no-decorate isn't working and I have to manually set it to False.
