Ok, so I've modified the "meaning" of verbose now in ipmi-fru.  Anything
that is defined in the spec will be output.  "verbose" outputs extra
error messages, and "very verbose" adds in insane detailed information
(i.e. language code 0x03 used).  B/c I don't want to change ipmi-fru's
behavior right now, I'll keep this change until I release 0.7.1.
