Re: [Ltib] Special tag localdir_nobuild causes LTIB to go to the config screen.

[aaron]

The platform I'm using is mpc8349itx.  If I remove the file

config/platform/mpc8349itx/.config

then typing `./ltib` drops me to the configuration menu

"LTIB: Freescale MPC8349E-mITX board"

If I have the config file, `./ltib` proceeds with the build without going
to the configuration menu.

At first glance it seems like the config file you say should not be
created needs to be present to avoid the menu.  The patch I submitted was
working for the localdir_nobuild special tag when applied to CVS revision
1.5 of bin/Ltibrelease.pm.
