This was a lot more involved than I first suspected, but the solution was
simpler than I thought .. & backgrounds the process .. and then the pid
is watched for in /proc to dissappear. So it is very mult-tasking.

This prevents the app. from not locking when really large files are compressed,
it locks a little between large chunks, but a lot better than before .. also
there is now a little verbosity to tell when the process is over.

This is the beginning of better symbol control, ars will be dispensed with.
Basically gbootroot has just one function start() called from BootRoot.
Eventually BootRoot will be split further into ARS and ABS. This makes more
sense then having one large gbootroot .. it just grew too much.

This gets rid of the annoying perhaps you are not root for gdkbirdaao,
and only tests if root and using a method which has lilo .. default if
method hasn't been chosen.

Got rid of the \.yard suffix rule, though template needs to be ^\w+, I
never really documented this, and it may trick users who aren't aware of
the rule.

This removes -i8192 from genext2fs default, this just causes problems, the defaults built into
genext2fs work alot better.

$ENV{RELEASE} is now initialized every time a check is run on the template.
Information can come from three sources, the kernel version returned from
a selected kernel in the main section, the user defined kernel version
in the ABS, or `uname -r`. User defined kernel version overrides the kernel.
The root_fs needs to be built in relation to the actual kernel modules
it will run on. Previously the $RELEASE value wasn't returned properly
because of some bugs in kernel_version_check. This has been fixed.

This does a great job of prompting the user if they have root privileges for lilo, they may
continue or stop the process. This uses mtab().

This almost creates a successful normal user boot disk .. but doesn't find /dev/fd0 despite
its existence. Also, rootdisk isn't created yet. Getting pretty close.

This makes the default replacement directory permanent, rather than calling it over and
over again. Right, now busyboxes ldd is being used in Yard.pm for some experiments.

Added -r0 to genext2fs default for non-root user. Now if a genext2fs would
work for a non-root user, even though it appears exactly the same as the
root_fs created by root with the same template .. it just doesn't work.

This does it! Now non-root users can create complete boot/root sets ..the
only catch is lilo, but working that one out.

If the ARS is never opened, $entry_advanced[3] eq "", so now when $um == 0
it defaults to the value for BOOT_DEVICE.

This is better because it checks to see if the real device is mounted,
ofcourse this is only necessary when lilo is used.

Almost have genextfs done for boot, now just have to use a smaller kernel,
and put everything somewhere else besides $mnt, so that lilo can do its
thing on a real device assuming fstab is edited for a non-root user.

Changed mind about 0444 for root, actually, the symlink provides the protection,
and the permissions are necessary, too .. the original ones.
