0910d0bcb8 Standalone Apps: Standalone apps should need only exports.h.
Modify exports.h to remove its dependencies on other files, thus
enabling standalone apps to require only exports.h from the U-Boot
source tree.  This appears to be the intent based on the following
note: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-January/067174.html

54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands.  Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".

This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */	while (*++*argv) {
			switch (**argv) {
			case 'd':
				debug++;
				break;
			...
			default:
				usage ();
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell.  With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
	error: increment of read-only location '*argv'

N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:

	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
		char *arg = *argv;
		while (*++arg) {
			switch (*arg) {
			...

65f6f07b72 atmel_df_pow2: standalone to convert dataflashes to pow2
Atmel DataFlashes by default operate with pages that are slightly bigger
than normal binary sizes (i.e. many are 1056 byte pages rather than 1024
bytes).  However, they also have a "power of 2" mode where the pages show
up with the normal binary size.  The latter mode is required in order to
boot with a Blackfin processor, so many people wish to convert their
DataFlashes on their development systems to this mode.  This standalone
application does just that.
