This is useful for allowing scripts to read environment variables from file, among other things.
This is a slightly modified version of what Alessandro submitted to the mailing list last July: http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07932.html
I changed the name from 'setenvram' to 'ramenv' to prevent breakage of scripts that use the abbreviation 'set' (which my handss have the habit of doing).

We discussed thsi before, and I already NAKed it.
I hereby NAK it again.
I'm not sure how this made it back onto the list. Sorry about that.
This command makes no sense (especially since it will process only a single variable).
Please use a script image with "askenv" instead.
Thanks for the tip. I hadn't noticed askenv previously.
Note: if the code would process a list of variables, say, in internal U-Boot environment format (separated by single NUL, terminated by double NUL characters), that could be a useful building block to implement the "reset to default environment" / "reset factory defaults" command we discussed earlier (see mailing list archive) - and as such, it had much better chances to be considered.
Best regards,
