If a board is not uniquely identifiable by PCI device/subsystem IDs, a
string can be specified to be looked for (case-sensitive, substring or
anchored) for now in one of the following DMI items in addition to matching
the PCI IDs:
 - System Manufacturer
 - System Product Name
 - System Version
 - Baseboard Manufacturer
 - Baseboard Product Name
 - Baseboard Version

Strings are anchored re-like (^ at the beginning, $ at the end), but
there are no plans to support full regular expressions and matched to any
of the mentioned fields.

The match is only made if DMI info is available and the string matches.
If no DMI info is available and the PCI IDs match, a warning is printed
as the board can not be autodetected.

It's still open to discussion whether we add an DMI override switch to
specify a string that will definitely match, and whether this switch is
only used if no DMI is available or whether it overrides or augments DMI
data.

DMI data is currently read using dmidecode. This tool is available for
all major platforms except MacOS X. I heard that there also is a MacOS X
version of dmidecode, but didn't investigate that.

Reverse engineered from USB logs. I never touched that programmer nor
did I ever see the associated software.
Disabled by default until it is complete. The driver needs to be hooked
up to the SPI core before it will do anything besides init and
diagnostics.

I successfully reverse engineered all commands, but some are still
somewhat magic.
Logs from "flashrom -p dediprog -V" are appreciated.

Probe and read should work, erase/write is expected to explode.
The programmer will set voltage to 0 on exit.

Thanks a lot to Stefan Reinauer and Patrick Georgi for providing USB
logs and for testing the result.

And rename them accordingly. For now, main() just calls cli_classic(),
but alternative frontends can be switched in main().
Annotate remaining help texts with CLI dependency inside flashrom.c with
a FIXME comment.

Now people can go and create different frontends and be happy. Please
note that any other frontend will have to sort of duplicate the probing
code in cli_classic.c. Refactoring that part of the code is possible,
but not easy because we still want to print instructive help messages

Libpci is no longer required to build flashrom and will not be checked
for if no PCI code is needed for the selected programmers.
libftdi is no longer checked for if FT2232 support is not selected.

With this patch, it is possible to build on pretty much every OS out
there (including Windows) without altering the Makefile.
Some gcc versions may need a CFLAGS override for a warning in

Make various pieces of code conditional on support for internal
programming. Code shared between PCI device programmers and onboard
programming is now conditional as well.

It is now possible to build only with dummy support:
make CONFIG_INTERNAL=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_SATASII=no
CONFIG_DRKAISER=no CONFIG_SERPROG=no CONFIG_FT2232SPI=no

This allows building for a specific use case only, and it also
facilitates porting to a new architecture because it is possible to
focus on highlevel code only.

Note: Either internal or dummy programmer needs to be compiled in due to
the current behaviour of always picking a default programmer if -p is
not specified. Picking an arbitrary external programmer as default  
wouldn't make sense.

Build and runtime tested in all 1024 possible build combinations. The
only failures are by design as mentioned above.

There are certainly possible improvements: The code has hard-coded
values for which interface of the ftdi chip to use (interface B was
chosen because libftdi seems to have trouble with A right now), what
clock rate use for the SPI interface (I've been running at 30Mhz, but
the patch sets it to 10Mhz), and possibly others. I think this means
that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point.
