+ <b><u><i>HIGH PRIORITY!</i></u></b>
+ When downloading coreboot/grub/memtest/etc using the download scripts, it currently does
+ not check the integrity of these sources at all. Libreboot releases are signed, but
+ what can be done to improve it is to check the sha512sums of all files downloaded
+ by these scripts (which are in the git repository, but not the release archives,
+ because the release archives already include these sources). Do this for all
+ non-integrated modules used in libreboot.

<li><b><u><i>HIGH PRIORITY!</i></u></b> <b>Make memtest86+ build using coreboot's own crossgcc toolchain. Currently,
memtest86+ doesn't even work at all when cross-compiled using the toolchain in x86-64 trisquel7</b></li>
