For u-boot it seems that there are a lot of other trees around with vendor
specific stuff and other features people have needed, and that eventually
these patches get back to the root.

You'd need to ask on the u-boot mailing list.

I believe Jeff Doozan uboot is capable of doing this.

OK, if it is for interest for anyone else. Here is the answer I got on the 
u-boot ML:

And as far as I know the right file to add these includes is include/config.h 
in the u-boot sources.
I could build u-boot 2010.09 with YAFFS2 support (not yet tested), it failed 
to build with UBIFS support.
