I think he want to call function by name directly without a warpper of 
"RedBoot_cmd()" macro.

Actually VxWorks provide this function. It strips all symbles from 
application image, then generate a source file contains all symbles, then 
add it into project and rebuild it. Then user can call all functions 
directly from VxWorks shell.
However, I think Redboot style is good enough.

But what I am thinking about is: Can we divide the shell functionality from 
Redboot and create a new package(suppose to be RedShell)?
Because we always need a shell in application, and there are very many 
things have been implemented in Redboot. If so, we can reduce a lot of work 
in writing application shell.
