The current data is in rtems-tools.git/config. I needed a spot and could not
think of another place that was easy and low impact. I would welcome
alternatives. If this data can be generated and updated or runtime loaded from
another source, ie spec files, I would welcome this.

The current blocker with the spec files is being able to use some shared code to
parse and load the YAML data plus being able to load the data quickly. Waf has
the loading code in the wscript file so that cannot be easily shared and it uses
saved pickled data which I do not think is shareable.
