[U-Boot] resetting environment to default

In some discussions we were talking about the nicety of having a command to reset the environment back to defaults. The reason for having a command is to deal with know exactly where the environment is stored in various non-volatile memories.
Is this something we think would be acceptable -- a 'resetenv' command?

Sure - IIRC we actually had a pretty detailed plan what it should look like (including the name and arguments), but just didn;t find a volunteer to implement it.

Cool. Is that something you could post?

Hello everybody,
every now and then somebody asks me how or what he could contribute to the U-Boot project, or is a certains task was already being worked on.
To collect such ideas and to coordinate efforts I've vreated a "Tasks" page in the U-Boot wiki. Please have a look, and contribute:

Kumar: for "resetting environment to default" please see the "Set Environment to Default Values" and "Group Enviornment Variables" pages:
