Dear Ilya,

I wonder why do we need this whole spl thing in the first place (well, surely I know what they are used for but why do we need a separate entity for this)? Isn't it just the same U-Boot in, well, very special configuration (minimal set of drivers, no shell, etc)? Why do we need a whole shadow tree at spl/ instead of just providing the _configuration_?
Good point. Eventually we can just add additional build rules for new object files (say, ".splo" instead of ".o") ?
No need for new extensions -- we should be able to use the target directory to influence rule selection.
