Tim,
I was thinking maybe you could pre-process the .uni file, but I'm not sure that
is possible given what the build_rule.template looks like. I'm not sure if no
<Command> means hard coded in Python? So maybe you need to hack the Python?

[Unicode-Text-File]

*.uni, *.Uni, *.UNI

<Command>
[Efi-Image.UEFI_OPTIONROM]
<InputFile>
?.efi, ?.EFI, ?.Efi
<OutputFile>
