Improved the permissions of the 'required rpm' packages, and updated
the date for release. Should be like right now.

Found another nasty, where bad symlinks were being produced in --home
. .. this isn't wanted, actually I'm not sure why I changed to this
behavior to begin with, but remember that repl dirs weren't formed in
one instance, but this isn't a problem anymore.

This pretty much completes the development cycle for 1.4.0, unless
anything major comes up. Added some links to the webpage, information
how to customize the kernel in the source package, and ups the date,
though that will probably be done one more time.

Fixed a bug which causes lock-ups during seconf fs creation with
EXPECT, and a bug where .options wasn't being written to disk or the
path was being altered when a variable was being altered. This also
gets things trim and ready with the coolest discovery being that a
nested kernel can run on the host and in it's nest. I'll be testing
other nested levels to discover how far this can go and be
incorporated in one package which is nice.

This adds a new c program skas-or-tt mostly from uml code which
automates the recognition of whether or not the host kernel has the
skas patch applied. Makefile edits itself, and all gui is automated.

Thought it was time to update the copy to 2003. Fixed a few minor
bugs founds while running underneath uml. One percular bug pertaining
to OPTIONS was found after running a uml from the uml box then closing
it again making a new root_fs and opening it again the options were
missing. Haven't noticed this on the host system before. Will also
need to add a c program to determine whether the host kernel is tt or
skas to auto-magically determing what kernel mode to run in.

Tested gbootroot-nest1 within a uml, nice, will have to tweak the
logic for cmdline only to set-up .gbootroot* properly, and the logic
pertaining to mode={tt,skas}, but other than that things are working
nicely. Will have to come out with a new make-debian-x11 package, but
then again will need to come out with a new root_fs representing the
nesting changes, too.

Just properly orders --help a little

This gets everything working properly. Now --home works properly both
for gui-mode and cli, and all executables can be properly specified.
Ex:
./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --uml-exclusively on
--expect-program ./expect_uml
--uml-kerneluser-mode-linux/usr/bin/linux --root-fs-helper
root_filesystem/root_fs_helper
./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --genext2fs-dir
genext2fs/ --filesystem-command "genext2fs -z -r0"

Changed linuxbr to linux, may ultimately change it to linux so it doesn't
conflict with user-mode-linux, need to check on the set-up. Probably gbootroot
should be made to conflict with these deb packages. Options has more
explanation and another hidden option added.

Some even more elaborate changes so that the gui can be ran from the immediate
directory for testing using only the --home option. Also, made sure genext2fs
can be found.

Now there are some hidden options so that root_fs can be made from the
programs from within the source code like:
perl -I . ./gbootroot --home . --template Helper.yard --root-filename root_fs_experiment --root-fs-helper-location ./root_filesystem/root_fs_helper --uml-exclusively on --expect-program ./expect_uml

Now gbootroot is functioning well as either a GUI or CLI in relation to whether or not arguments are added. Options.pm allows things to be checked before interpreting so that a determination can be made what mode to go in.

Improved the parameter explanation .. ramdisk_size really wasn't crucial, and
removed mem=16M as a default, first of all this is already standard, and secondly
it may cause problems for users unaware of the MTD Emulators default settings.

Yard won't attempt to make /dev on compressed fs and ro if /dev is a symbolic
link, won't complain when there is an unitialized value in concatation in
Boot, Ramdisk_size is always 4096 for mtdram, this setting isn't really
necessary, but is left anyways.

This is even nicer. It gives both mtdram and blkmtd the same memory parameters
for mem. Just have to watch out for that nasty cramfsck by Linus.

More mem adjustments, this time to the spin wheel, 1024 for 1, 8192 for 2,
these are great setting for mtdram .. <16M files can use the small adj.
>16M should zero down with 3 and increment with 2nd button.

A few more improvements to the mtd code to handle memory better 16M increments
for mtdram, will probably do a similiar thing for blkmtd which appears to be
exponential 16 32 64 etc .. ofcourse at 128 things can get narly.
