This is a small release of changes that have accumulated since last August.
As it contains mainly new command line switches (i.e. features) for some
of the tools, this receives a minor version bump.

The Autotools based build system also received a slight overhaul, cleaning
up how configure switches and dependencies are handled. It should now
also be possible to compile mtd-utils without requiring zlib.


Changes from 2.1.6 to 2.2.0:

Features:
       ubiattach: introduce disable_fm in UBI_IOCATT
       ubiattach: introduce need_resv_pool in UBI_IOCATT
       flash_erase: Add an option for JFFS2 cleanmarker size
       flashcp: Add write last option
       Add a README and CHANGELOG files
       Add a build summary to configure.ac

Fixes:
       mkfs.ubifs: fix xattr scanning for builds with selinux support
       jffs2dump: check return value of lseek
       Add missing autoconf check for AR

Changes:
       Cleanup and unify handling of optional dependencies, configure switches
       Make compilation with zlib optional
