CC is now also being honored by all tools; eventually I should fix their Makefiles to not set certain variables in stone, but that needs to be done with/in upstream. This tarball now contains the following tools: * cbmem CBMEM parser to read e.g. timestamps and console log * ectool Dumps the RAM of a laptop's Embedded/Environmental Controller (EC) * ifdtool Extract and dump Intel Firmware Descriptor information All three work perfectly on my X230. Feedback? OK to import and continue in-tree?
