The mlt_*.ldi and mlt_*.h files were originally generated by the eCos
Configuration Tool (version 1.x) from the mlt_*.mlt files. The current
eCos Configuration Tool (version 2.x) does not implement memory layout
functionality but re-implementation of this functionality is still
planned. For the time being, developers should generate the .ldi and .h
files directly and can omit the .mlt files in new ports. The important
thing is that developers should not deviate from the basic layout of the
.ldi and .h files, and thus produce files which could not be
re-generated by the original memory layout tool. That would cause big
migration problems when the new memory layout functionality is introduced.
