Why would you pull in both libpci and coreboot headers?

libpci pretty much brings its own PCI ID database.

We have a collection of such utilities, and they're quite nice... 
mptable, pirq, inteltool, superiotool, there is even one for sc520 iirc.

Things are improving over time. Think of how flash_and_burn starting as 
a shellscript calling setpci and it evolved into flashrom eventually.

I think it's awesome that you write another one of these tools... 
They're an important step towards automation of coreboot ports
