If flashrom is going to make a serious effort to branch out into
supporting external programmers then I think its time to refactor the
core code into libflashrom and provide separate UI's for the different
needs.
The workflow of flashrom to flash coreboot ont the chip on your
motherboard is different from the workflow/feature needs of a general
purpose external programmer.
An attempt to find a single UI that works for both is going to result in
one that only does a half-ass job at either one.
