Add support for specifying the parameters needed for capsule generation through a config file, instead of passing them through command-line. Parameters for more than a single capsule file can be specified, resulting in generation of multiple capsules through a single invocation of the command.
The config file can then be passed to the mkeficapsule tool in such manner
$ ./tools/mkeficapsule -f <path/to/the/config/file>

This patch keeps coming back :-)
Can we not add multiple capsules in the binman description? Why do we need a new file format? How can binman decode images produced in this way?
Also, could we get sandbox to produce one EFI capsule as part of the normal build? I think that discussion trailed off.
I believe part of the answer here is to support the config file format that other capsule generators use. Do I recall this all right, Sughosh?
Yes, that is correct. There are some other reasons as well, which I have mentioned in the reply to Simon's email.
