well we can name it anything. The problem is openbios is taken. Since the
source tree is called freebios we could call it that but the problem is
name changes are really hard to propagate once they "take". I'll wait for
other comments. 

The only thing I can see needed mods to boot other-than-linux is to change
the 'linux' command in the python tool to some other name, such as
'payload', and specify the full path to the file, not just the
directory. Then we've got Eric's uniform boot and we can do what we want. 

So, folks: rename or not?
