I updated followings on the  qplus homepage. 

- lkc2cml2 
- i386-generic-lkc BSP: for kernel 2.5.59 (kernel source is not included),
bug fixes of i386-generic 
- Target Builder : bug fixes, RedHat 8.0 compatibility, ... 

See 'Update' section on http://qplus.etri.re.kr/qplus-p/download.html. 

As for lkc2cml2, I have tested cml2 output generated by lkc2cml2 and it
seems to work well. 
However, there's some limitation as listed belows though i think it's not a
big problem. 
- In case of multiple default, only the first one  is served.
- Can not detect wrong lkc(kconfig) and may cause strange error.
  For example, X86_VISWS symbol is not defined but it is used to describe
  dependencies of X86_LOCAL_APIC, .... In this case, Something strange
  can happen on generated cml2 rules.

You can use lkc2cml2 generated cml2 files with Target Builder without any
modification. 
Therefore, if you want to write a BSP based with lkc based 2.5.x kernel,
you don't need to know 
about CML2. I made a sample BSP i386-generic-lkc. As the name suggest, it
is the same as 
i386-generic except it use 2.5.59 kernel and cml2 rule files are generated
using lkc2cml2.
In this BSP, i exclude kernel source and prebuilt binaries so it's size is
only about 2MB. 

Cheers,
Heechul.
