Ignore OOB area

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have downloaded the image directly from device, just to examine the contents.
The problem is that the image does not contain extra +64 bytes at the end of 
every chunk.

Is it possible to extract contents while skipping OOB area? Or maybe generate 
OOB from the downloaded image?

This is a feature request, not a defect, sorry.

At this moment, the unyaffs2 still cannot extract the image dumped directly 
from the evice (it is still in progress). 

When processing the contents of a file, unyaffs2 need the information in the 
spare(oob) area to extract the correct size of the data chunk. The tool, such 
as nanddump, should has the capacity to dump a image contains oob info, hasn't 
it!?

If there are no other concern, I will close this issue and set as "won't fix"
