o Various changes/fixes in libipmiconsole
  - If user retrieves file descriptor from ipmiconsole_ctx_fd, 
    user is required to close it.  ipmiconsole_ctx_destroy no 
    longer closes it.  This is to avoid a potential double close 
    which can be a problem for multithreaded applications.  This 
    is a change in behavior, but we do not believe this will 
    affect most applications since most users close the file 
    descriptor under most scenarios anyways.
  - ipmiconsole_ctx_destroy() should now be called to free 
    resources even if ipmiconsole_engine_teardown() has been 
    called.  This has been done to create consistent behavior in 
    the API and avoid a former segfault possibility.  This is a 
    change in behavior, but we do not believe this will affect 
    most applications since ipmiconsole_engine_teardown() is 
    only called when an application is being shutdown.
  - The use of IPMICONSOLE_ENGINE_CLOSE_FD has been clarified in 
    the header file.  Some of the prior text was unclear.  
    Behavior has not been changed.
o In ipmi-oem, support Intel get-bmc-services and set-bmc-
  services commands.
