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).
