Yes solar is right.
I originally submitted the embedded profile as an example of something
i hacked together. I have a cascading one that isn't quite finished
yet, but hopefully in a week or so.
The point was to get *something* so that other people could see how
it's done, unfortunatly it has turned into bit rot.
In the next couple of weeks I'll post the profile and some patches for
catalyst that *really* help automation for embedded system building.
