This works pretty well based on a few tests here but as this is a 
heavily derived work of a GPLv2 script (IANAL) I'm pretty sure we need 
to respect the author of the original works copyright and license.

In concrete terms I expect we need to:
* use the original license header WITH the original Intel 2010 copyright
* add Wind River's copyright to the new code
* mention and link to the original work in a comment in the script

With those changes I expect we can merge this and iterate on it as 
people use it.

Cheers,
Joshua
