Manuel,
   I have the WRT book included in jhalfs but before I do a
commit we 
need to talk about some new config parameters.
   The WRT book is directed towards building on a a specific
MIPS 
platform and I needed to create a new configurable parameter
PLATFORM. 
This var contains either "GENERIC" or "WRT -
MIPS Wireless Router". If 
we maintain the non-generic format "ID text"
" - Description" I can 
parse the ID with ${var% -*} (when I need to know the
platform)

   George

    If you look at the definition of ARCH in Config.in it is
a processor 
architecture. WRT (wireless routers) is a platform designed
around the 
MIPS processor. If we just say WRT is another ARCH we must
add many 
conditionals to the current Config.in design.  By adding the
config 
parameter PLATFORM I avoid all the conditionals.

   They are in the systemprep directory and are included
before the 
cross-tools section.
