wpa_supplicant PSK question

[Bob Carlson]

I am working with VxWorks and Tornado. Since I have to build the supplicant
in Tornado in concert with the rest of the application, it's hard to use
the existing build defines. When I tried to build without eapol_sm.c and
eap.c, I couldn't get rid of unresolved externals. I considered the idea of
including the .config file as an include in all the .c files so I could use
the same build defines without having to do contortions in Tornado.

That list of .o files should be invaluable. Thanks for that.

Cheers, Bob
