2013-04-04patman: Add cros_subprocess library to manage subprocessesSimon Glass
This adds a new library on top of subprocess which permits access to the subprocess output as it is being generated. We can therefore give the illusion that a process is running independently, but still monitor its output so that we know what is going on. It is possible to display output on a terminal as it is generated (a little like tee). The supplied output function is called with all stdout/stderr data as it arrives.
