At present buildman always builds out-of-tree, that is it uses a separate
output directory from the source directory. Normally this is what you want,
but it is important that in-tree builds work also. Some Makefile changes may
break this.
Add a -i option to tell buildman to use in-tree builds, so that it is easy
to test this feature.

Normally buildman wil try to configure U-Boot for a particular board on the
first commit that it builds in a series. Subsequent commits are built
without reconfiguring which normally works. Where it doesn't, buildman
automatically reconfigures and retries.
To fully emulate the way MAKEALL works, we should have an option to disable
this optimisation.
Add a -C option to cause buildman to always reconfigure on each commit.

Generally a build failure with a particular commit cannot be fixed except
by changing that commit. Changing the commit will automatically cause
buildman to retry when you run it again: buildman sees that the commit
hash is different and that it has no previous build result for the new
commit hash.
However sometimes the build failure is due to a toolchain issue or some
other environment problem. In that case, retrying failed builds may yield
a different result.
Add a flag to retry failed builds. This differs from the force rebuild
flag (-f) in that it will not rebuild commits which are already marked as
succeeded.

Add an option to specify the output directory to override the
default path '../'. This is useful for building in a ramdisk.

python used in buildman doesn't need to be placed in
/usr/bin/python, So use env to ensure that the interpreter
will pick the python from environment.
Usefull with several versions of python's installed on system.

There are a few make options such as BUILD_TAG which can be provided when
building U-Boot. Provide a way for buildman to pass these flags to make
also.
The flags should be in a [make-flags] section and arranged by target name
(the 'target' column in boards.cfg. See the README for more details.

This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also
shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits.
Buildman aims to make full use of multi-processor machines.
Documentation and caveats are in tools/buildman/README.
