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

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

This corrects nss_check so that the proper version from libc6 is recognized
for nss libraries. Hopefully, this corrects problems for even newer libc6

This is the start of giving gbootroot some commandline functionality similar to
bootroot, but more specific with the primary goal of allowing root_fs

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

necessary, but is left anyways.

This is even nicer. It gives both mtdram and blkmtd the same memory parameters

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.

Now files for uml_exclusively are made in create_expect_uml which is
effectively known as the create stage. This avoids the unecessary previous
requirement of having to select the copy stage again just to create a file
for /dev/ubd/0. The file created is sparse, got this idea from a discussion
Jeff had with a user on uml-user.

This adds jffs/jffs2 construction, expect_uml will have to be changed a little
bit more, but have tested this with an initrd, and it works pretty nicely
even with large fs assuming mem is set high enough. Mtdram was chosen over
blkmtd for now.

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.
