[ECOS] Using aliases in redboot boot scripts

[Andrew Lunn]

Hi Gary, Mark, etc...

For a long while i have been using alias in redboot boot scripts. eg i
have an alias %{tftp_boot} which performs a complete tftp. I've put
the command %{tftp_boot} into the boot script and all works well.

Yesterday i updated to the latest anoncvs code for redboot and now
this is broken. The function getc_script() is used to pass the script
to the CLI. This function is discarding all charactors in the script
between, and including, { and }. Hence its not possible to put alias
in the boot script anymore,


Before i hack this strange code out, i would like to know: Whats the
purpose of this?

        Thanks
                Andrew
