I notice we both seem to be working in the same area. Perhaps we can share 
notes, I would be happy to. Either on or off-list.

You may have seen some of my mails on the list; I am working with DM355, 2KB 
page NAND, OpenOCD JTAG and am working on migrating from our in-production 
product based on the beta SDK with legacy OOB layout, to current git kernel and 
U-Boot.

I plan to go the route of "special tool that does its own OOB handling", partly 
because I may need something like that to do field upgrades from one to the 
other (particularly to translate the BBT and rewrite the u-boot environment).
