[mc1322x] python-on-a-chip update

[Dean Hall]

... which shouldn't be done right now because my python-on-a-chip  
(p14p) branch for econotag is not in sync with libmc1322x.  I was  
waiting to see if Mar was going to commit the start.S changes to  
libmc1322x, or if I needed to apply a patch as part of p14p// 
econotag's "make once".

red-bsl.py works without changes and only 1 package dependancy  
(PySerial) that p14p already requires.  Great tool Andrew!

But as a general update, the p14p VM (a.k.a. PyMite) is ported and  
working.  The interactive command line works; you can 'print "Hello  
world"' to your hearts content.  And now I'm on to creating a byte- 
array datatype for p14p in order to hold packets and then wrapping all  
the fun RF APIs with Python calls.

I'll let you all know when things build cleanly and work reasonably  
well.  I'm pretty sure the interactive command line and python  
scripting is going to be a nice feature for general testing and  
exercise of 802.15.4.
