Not willing to leave a sleeping Yellow Dog lay, I continued to putz with
things and discovered there's a utility on my YDL 3.0 named "xxd". Unless
I'm mistaken, it can produce the file without using any escapes, etc. To
wit:

echo 011301 | xxd -r -p > powerup-boot

I'm gonna hafta look into xxd a bit. Seems it might be handy and I don't
see it on OS X.
