Added a button to open up the Filesystem Box from the ARS, this is on the same
line as Filesystem Size.

Getting ready for another release.
During the boot stage the filsystem type was used to determine whether
to use the genext2fs (non-root) method or the normal method used by root.
Now the user type is used, this is better because it prevents conflicts
if a different filesystem type is chosen, or if a non-root user changes to a
different filesystem type in the filesystem box and forgets to change back
to genext2fs; however, it prevents root from using the genext2fs method,
which isn't a problem. The sudo requirement for lilo is too much of a
requirement, and will be changed in future versions.

Fixed another non-root boot/root bug. The info had it correct, but the actual
copy with genext2fs was being done from the wrong location. This has been
fixed.

Changed the behavior of save_as so that when compression is chosen, the
entry won't be the same as that found in Root Filename, but instead reflects
the newly compressed file. This change was precipitated by the previous
change to the Accept behavior.

This should fix the bug reported by Liav Asseraf. The main program was
rearragned and put in BootRoot, but the BEGIN block which sets up the FHS
for perl's INC was now in this file, so ofcourse, gbootroot couldn't find the
modules.

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.

$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.
