AFAIK, the v2 branch doesn't hold these secrets :-)
FYI, I looked into adding NAND+JFFS2 support some time ago and
gave up after spending about 3 weeks trying to get it going...
It might be easier now (the NAND stuff in JFFS2 has changed
quite a bit, but you'll have to re-port/import the changes
into eCos as our version is quite ancient)
