The licensing I looked at is inappropriate for direct inclusion
in RTEMS.  As I recall, it can legally only be used with Intel flash.

But ... a glue layer between the RTEMS filesystem interface and their 
standard interface should be OK to be merged.  We would just have
to include a pointer to their site to get the actual filesystem code.

Someone out there had this glue layer... :)
