We do NOT want to use LTIB (supplied by Freescale) to create one

Can you elaborate on what issues you have with ELDK/LTIB, is it just =20
package support?  If so it might be useful for the developers to know =20
what packages you're interested in.  Or if there are other issues =20
with them.

LTIB uses busybox and in general seems very limited in its support
(as well as currently backdated in terms of kernel support).=20
ELDK has an incredible set of packages that it supports, but=20
things like many of the scripting languages support (e.g.: PERL),
additional security libraries(e.g.: ipsec), general network=20
libraries (e.g.: libpcap), and some network utilities (e.g.: wget).

Individually, none of these are serious, but altogether it's a lot
to manage - if I had 1 stop shopping, I might go there instead of=20
with the ever incredible ELDK!
