display custom message

Hello folks,
I want to replace the internal OS shipping with OpenMoko FreeRunner devices
for avoiding confusion by the users in case my system on the microSD card
fails to load.
qi-bootmenu seems suitable for this, but, as far as my docs and code reading
goes, it provides no wait to display a custom message.
I tweaked the current code to provide this possibility. Messages are displayed
as regular entries, except:
* it gets no icon
* it's displayed in a line with lower height
* it is not clickable
As a by-product, multiple messages can be displayed, even between different
actual boot lines. Messages are configured in config.h :
MenuItem menu[] = {
/* here is one custom message line */
{ "Memory Card error!", NULL, NULL, NULL },
/* here is another custom message line */
{ "Please return device to IT.", NULL, NULL, NULL },
/* Original list entries */
{ "NAND Flash", DEFAULT_LOGO, boot_nand, "/dev/mtdblock6" },
{ "Power Off", "/usr/share/qi-bootmenu/poweroff.png", poweroff, NULL },
};
However, my efforts at building the qi-bootmenu rootfs locally from ./build.sh failed.
Can anyone review this patch and provide some feedback?
cheers
