The tool is not mkimage, it does likely use mkimage underneath though, it's a ncurses menu which allows you to select the device you have and it generates the correct bits for boot. Whether Hans generates all the mkimage options before hand and just copies the right one into place or generates them on the fly I'm not 100% sure.
