Hi Chris,

To make it easier to use patman on other projects add a distutils style installer. Now patman can be installed with
cd u-boot/tools/patman && python setup.py install
There are also the usual distutils options for creating source/binary distributions of patman.
Maybe we should split patman into a separate project someday. It is not tightly coupled with the u-boot core.
It could be treated the same way the git project treats gitk and git-gui. The sources are still included in the main project and distributed along with the rest of it but they are merged from an external upstream where the real development happens. The upstream project is also free to make releases on whatever schedule they determine (although these days there isn't much development going on in for gitk/git-gui).
