Removing them reduces the size of the archive (by a lot). GRUB development should be upstream. - Removed .git and .gitignore from bucts directory (libreboot_src); not needed. Removing them reduces the size of the archive. bucts development should be upstream. - Removed .svn from flashrom directory (libreboot_src); not needed. Removing it reduces the size of the archive. flashrom development should be upstream. - Added ROM's with Qwerty (Italian) layout in GRUB (libreboot*itqwerty.rom) - Added resources/utilities/i945gpu/intel-regs.py for debugging issues related to LCD panel compatibility on X60 Tablet and T60.
