Stefano,

Looks interesting.  I have a question that I didn't see covered in the 
documentation (yet).  I can see the benefit to having a single image firmware 
upgrade, but how does swupdate handle configuration differences?  I can see 
cases in which the majority of the software will be the same but there will be 
configuration file differences from device to device.  I like the idea of a 
single image upgrade, but not at the cost of wiping the device-specific 
configuration.

Thanks,
Bryan E.
